As a recent convert. What the fuck are these names ? LET ME OPEN UP SCRUNGLE and use it to JINX my DOLPHIN. I get that they are trying to be witty but sometimes less is more.

      systemd can be compiled with musl via patches (don’t know if they are upstream or not) but that was a very recent change.

      Void generally chooses its own in-house components (like their package manager) and alternative core stuff like musl and runit. I don’t know why anyone would choose doing that outside of DIY/purist tendencies.

        It’s a fun experiment, and a good way to keep alternative pathways maintained and vetted.

        Things like Void and Alpine are also great when it comes to containerization when you need a super small build, so they have utility.

        I don’t really think about my init system that much until I need to, and have never had any issues with systemd, so I’m agnostic on the whole thing lol
