Thank you for making s6 more manageable . But my issues with it, including forum interactions (or non-thereof) has pilled up high enough that i think a year and some time using it is not worth the time of fixing some of the issue by myself that i encountered.
Thanks
You should read the post I wrote about Lizzias. I wish I knew more to be able to help more, but in your case the problems weren't s6/66 related but customizing everything you install and by the time anyone would look at your question you would have three answers to your own question.
In terms of s6 and 66 there hasn't been ONE person with ONE post, ever, to display what any init and service management software can do that 66/s6 can't. The reason is because there is no such a thing. Whether systemd does many other things unrelated to init/service-mgmnt is part of its problem, not its feature. It is like a fruit market that also sells airplane tires and submarine sonar parts. 99% of all desktop problems relate to software depending on systemd's logind. That is not really Obarun's problem, it is the vast majority of today's software developers for X-applications assuming that linux=systemd.
Whether it is worth to stick around and struggle against the trends is subjective. For some it is more important for steam or wine to work than anything else.
Example: In the past few days among other upgrades I noticed xfce4-panel was being upgraded. I don't even remember ever using it, so I tried to start it from terminal in my wm to see how I customized it when I did run it long ago, It wouldn't start. Why? Because dbus is not running. This is xfce not gnome .... it doesn't just throw an error or warning on terminal complaining, like some lxde stuff do, it shuts down right away just because dbus is not running. But lxpanel runs fine without it.
So what is someone to do? Choose, 1) Run dbus as xfce demands 2) Remove the annoying software that places such demands.
What did I do? I thought about it for about 343ms and removed it (pacman -Rnsu xfce4-panel) and even went to my ~/.config and erased anything related to it. Most people would just try to get dbus running. Most people also think ubuntu and mint are the best distros.
But I am not saying everyone should do what I do, .... I haven't even had the quriosity to even look at a steam screenshot, what it does, or how it works, or even why! I did try wine once but the application I was interested running in wine wouldn't work because non-latin fonts weren't supported (at least back then) .. so it was a quick 1/2hr visit.
I don't see Obarun as a distro. I see Obarun within a struggle against something I perceive as malicious. And there are quite a few distros within this struggle. Obarun is just the front line and front lines are not for everyone.
I am going back to my mcwm experiments now ..... because openbox and jwm are too much to carry to the trenches.
1000KB RSS to run mcwm ...
