It's time for a new, leaner init system. systemd became an os of it's own.

Wait, what ? The next logical step is combine systemd with wayland.

And rewrite it in rust while we're at it.

It's actually time for an old init system, check out devuan.org

Works absolutely fine.

Unfortunately it's a dead end. The world standardized so much on the systemd it's not worth fighting anymore.

Although the hell is going to freeze before I switch to their timers instead of cron.

I don't think of it much as fighting, but rather as just using devuan. Half of the defenses against any criticism in open source is "you can just fork it/not use it", so here we are.

It's fine, literally nothing happens if you just don't use systemd.

Unfortunately this ship has sailed and we all have to pick our battles. I for one submitted to our lord systemd but I'm far from loyal.
