Emacs Is My New Window Manager
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.

SystemD is great.
A bit too late now lol

cron.el: a cron emulator for Emacs
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.

Emacs should become a Wayland compositor
Hello there
-
So turns out linux auto kills processes that use up all available memory (code in example is just malloc and printing the pointer locations)

*Laughs in autocmd*
Although there are definitely insane people that use EXWM. Emacs isn’t even properly multithreaded why would you think that’s a good idea. And… someone did write a systemd replacement as a meme/challenge ( systemE ). So maybe we are a bit insane.
- Now you can even replace systemd with Emacs

Choosing a text editor.
Someone already wrote a systemd replacement in EmacsLisp https://github.com/a-schaefers/systemE

- OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems

are there any good reasons for me to avoid systemd
A (rare) good critique to systemd can be found here. Written by the developer behind s6, which happens to be scheduled to replace OpenRC on Alpine Linux. For completeness-sake, some of the main reasons why Alpine doesn't prefer systemd do not apply on most other distros.

A discussion about the Ultimate Linux Desktop
It got mass-adopted while being imperfect, so that's to be expected. Thankfully its inception and the criticism that followed have paved the way for the likes of dinit and s6.
-
Which do you use systemd or openrc? Why do you use what you use?
this page and this page, both by Laurent Bercot, creator of s6.
-
What do you guys think about this?
systemd: Yes; it's awaiting its "PipeWire". Thankfully, the likes of s6 and dinit are very promising. Though I can actually appreciate that systemd is addressed. As ultimately it helps in raising awareness that will benefit whatever software will replace it eventually.

The (GNU/)Linux rabbit hole has been a negative influence on my mental state
Arguably this is less troublesome to solve compared to the other concerns. As we're inevitably waiting for the system supervision suite that will be to systemd what PipeWire has been to PulseAudio. I'm very optimistic about this as both s6 and Dinit are shaping up lovely.
- Systemd 252 Released
- Alpine Linux is reducing dependencies on Busybox

Gokrazy – A Native Go Userland
Very interesting project.
Has anyone tried it?
Apparently they have written their own init: https://gokrazy.org/userguide/process-interface/
This makes me curious. I wonder how well Gokrazy would blend with s6/s6-rc…
If anyone is curious there’s more info about those projects here:
