Suite66, S6 or Dinit 24 November 2021, 09:14:22 Looking to switch from Arch & I see theres a new ISO for dinit, I was just wondering what that entails & differences from Suite66,Runit or S6. I dont use forums often, so I apologize in advance, any recommendations are welcome as it pertains to inits. Last Edit: 24 November 2021, 09:40:13 by kingdotcom
Re: Suite66, S6 or Dinit Reply #1 – 24 November 2021, 09:30:10 Please don't double post. Update: Merged.You can see the difference between the commands used by different init systems on our wiki:OpenRCrunits666dinitAlso see their respective websites for more information. To try out different init systems, use an emulator like QEMU.Edit: When I started using Artix, it was with s6. Why? Because everyone was using OpenRC or runit, and I wanted to check out the underdog. Later 66 was added, so I switched init to 66. Currently, I'm using 66 on both of my computers, since I'm currently a 66 maintainer for Artix. For testing, I also use other init systems in QEMU.All init systems supported by Artix work, and all of the software distributed by Artix works with them.

Contrary to systemd, none of them tries to do things that are completely unrelated to init and supervision. 1 Likes
