repo VS community

KISS is what you make it is. If you don't like the main repo, you can always switch to another main repo and have another entirely different system.

A Linux distro with a focus on simplicity and the concept of less is more\ (59 comments)

You can see it here: https://github.com/kisslinux/repo/issues/263

The Kiss Linux repos are not outdated, just the "official" one, there is one that is actively maintained by the community. https://github.com/kiss-community/community.

Yes. The init scripts are written so as to be as init-agnostic as possible. See here to see what has specifically been tested. You'll need to either change what owns /sbin/init or, when configuring the kernel, change what executable it spawns as PID 1. Depending on what init you use, you may have to set up a service manager or gettys manually like this -- custom scripts are placed in /etc/rc.d with self-explanatory suffixes .boot, .pre.shutdown, or .post.shutdown.

If you use the Official unofficial community repository, watch out for packages that might get dropped by maintainers.

Again, if you had bothered to read the sidebar you would have seen links to both the community site as well as the community github repo.

I am very exited for https://kisscommunity.org, the possibilities are endless!

Kiss linux is what you are searching for

This might not be exactly what you are looking for but KISS linux (https://k1sslinux.org) is a distribution that doesn't force ANY init on you, supports disk encryption ofc, it's probably the most light and minimal distribution out there (the core install has 7 packages), it's rolling release.
