    For my basic needs it always felt more confusing then necessary. Don’t have a hate boner for it, but i prefer not to use it at this point. I’m using Void and i really like how simple runit is.

      Ehh it’s very easy to use. Simpler then init actually but some people hate change.

        Well i’m not saying it’s rocket science, but compared to runit/rc.local or simple autostart scripts i do think it’s easier. I converted everything from my autostart script to systemd services when i was still on NixOS, and the whole thing seemed so convoluted. With having to set services to depend on each other, and also had a lot of problems with things like nm-applet or blueman-applet not showing up in the bar at all, and couldn’t find a way to fix it.

      When looking for an alternative to replace Arch ARM on my Raspberry Pi I tried Void but gave up after discovering it does not use systemd.
