Re: OpenRC or dinit? Reply #2 – 02 April 2025, 16:35:25 I've been using OpenRC for years (since my "Gentoo days"): it is stable and works a treat.I've been using dinit as a supervisor for my "user services" and it's simple enough for that task, never had any stability issues at all.I'd say your choice should depend on your personal preference and experience with non-systemd distros, since you mentioned you have experience only with SystemD, I'd suggest OpenRC since it's very well documented and supported.

Re: OpenRC or dinit? Reply #4 – 03 April 2025, 01:46:46 I agree with the general recommendation for OpenRC, since it's the oldest (it's older than systemd!), most widely deployed and best documented alternative init system. Any problem you have, it's likely other people already went through it and documented their solution.Dinit is also a good pick though. It's also a first class citizen in Artix (you won't miss any system services), and it's the closest in behavior to systemd. It might have changed, but dinit has parallel startup by default, while OpenRC doesn't (it can be enabled, but its creators don't trust it much), which makes dinit boot much faster.

Sure it's mostly, "RTFM your doing it wrong," but still, it's cool.
