So I found out today that Debian dropped a small script that allowed for different init systems to show in grub. Not really a big issue really as that script can still be used, but…
When I first found Linux 20 odd years ago, I loved the idea of choice and the devs supporting that choice. However now with the advent of systemd from Red Hat, the one and only to be used by all Linux 🤦♂️ the choice is being eroded. I build small embedded systems for fun and systemd is just too big, runit or S6 is just right.
This script is just a little thing, and the next one will also be just a little thing, and before you know it, suddenly, there’s no choice.
But, there’s is hope, the devs of MX Linux, Antix and Devuan have built a multi init version, and it works really well.
I’m still exploring it and enjoying the journey.
What are your thoughts?
