Mundane is a Rust cryptography library backed by BoringSSL that is difficult to misuse, ergonomic, and performant (in that order).

I'm quite intrigued by mundane which is cryptography library with a Rust interface that contains lots of code from OpenSSL (via BoringSSL, which is a fork of OpenSSL).
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good replacement for udev, and things like KDE Plasma appear to need logind. Thus, some people from Gentoo ripped udev out of systemd to create a standalone version called eudev, and people from GuixSD created elogind following the same method. Void and Artix appear to have both packages in their repositories. Also, systemd-boot was called Gummiboot before it was incorporated into systemd, so it appears as though some people (possibly from Alpine Linux?) are also maintaining a standalone version under the old name. So you could argue that neither Artix nor Void are systemd-"free". However, neither distro uses systemd as an init system. And, I think that it's silly for a person to dislike elogind or eudev only because they use code taken from systemd (although it isn't silly to not use them because you don't like the way they work).
