So,

I’ve never bothered with this before, since systemD seems to work just fine.

But I did this year stop using Ubuntu for most of my hosting needs and moved to Alpine or Debian, depending on what I’m doing.

So it makes sense to optimize even more. I read up a little about why people dislike systemD. Good reasons if mainly you’re worried that it’s doing too much and is too heavy.

So what are the alternatives that work with both Alpine and Debian? What are people using? Is it relatively easy to move from systemD to whatever is your alternative?

Thanks!

    I use Alpine for servers because I like its simplicity. Not in terms of computational power requirements, just in terms of user experience.

    Alpine is an interesting choice for hosting

    I’d say servers are one of the main uses of Alpine, second to containers. It would be a much more unusual choice for a desktop OS.
