elogind VS systemE

I think it was at one point. But then the part of systemd where that happened got forked so that's not been the case for years now.

elogind and eudev are forks of logind and udev respectively in order to remove systemd as a dependency and are not part of systemd itself. In the links above there are also a pretty clear reasoning behind making those forks.

Same problem here with Void. Nvidia drivers work fine on systemd distros like Arch and Fedora. I'm assuming you're using elogind for handling acpi events? If yes then I'm in a similar boat. I compared Fedora's suspend process to Void's and apparently nvidia package on Void doesn't install nvidia-sleep.sh to /usr/bin. So, I copied nvidia-sleep.sh from Fedora manually to Void's /usr/bin and added a script for pre and post suspend events that elogind handles (these events are handled by systemd services on Fedora). I found the script on this github issue.

This is technically not true. The hard dependency was only on systemd-logind which is part of the systemd project.The elogind project extracted systemd-logind from systemd and made it usable under non-systemd inits. With elogind, it's possible to run GNOME under other init systems.

I'm just going to throw out an easy example here, but there's more than one. This is elogind's github: https://github.com/elogind/elogind

How come Gentoo has to extract logind into a separate program, elogind, into its own package? Into its own repo? Why can't it just have logind directly?

Now there's elogind to replace logind, but I haven't tried if it actually works with systemd. Back in the day you could also just have used ConsoleKit on arch to launch your desktop session, but I don't know if that still works.

This was posted by someone else in the thread, but SystemE is close to that dream [1]:

> Using the tooling in this repo, I am able to boot from linux to sinit as PID1, and from there to Emacs acting as PID2 using --script mode, performing all typical rc.boot system initialization using Emacs lisp until we hit the getty.

Emacs people are the same

A bit too late now lol

I think there is one already

Replace whatever puny old init you’re using with https://github.com/a-schaefers/systemE

Cool otherwise, I had some thoughts that Emacs could be used as a cron replacement, but I was never sure it would be worth it to be honest. Systemd is probably the way to go. By the way, I remember there was also a SystemE, I have never tried it, so I don't know how good it is, I totally forgot it actually until now.
