mmix i like the idea arch + (non-systemd). i hope more arch-based distro adopt non-systemd as init, so, is there way to run runit on manjaro? i knew manjaro could be run without systemd, using openrc. https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=OpenRC,_an_alternative_to_systemd
eric the simply way to know the answer is to ask at manjaro team :). Personnaly i don't like openrc, sysvinit need successor not replacement but successor. Linux communities must be evolve and with openrc we backward-looking. it's my point of view nothing more :). I think openrc isn't totally free about systemd. Manjaro team use eudev-systemdcompat and this package use a fake of libsystemd. That's mean the base package are not free of systemd. But i repeat, is better to ask at manjaro team because i don't use openrc.
mmix so do i, i don't use openrc, few years ago, i had tried funtoo with openrc, i couldn't like it. completely free from systemd, i think there is vdev (devuan will use it). https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev https://devuan.org/
eric mmix wroteso do i, i don't use openrc, few years ago, i had tried funtoo with openrc, i couldn't like it. completely free from systemd, i think there is vdev (devuan will use it). https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev https://devuan.org/ i'm testing vdev for a while now on my system, and is not ready yet. So i prepare a eudev exit but for the moment eudev give me a complete satisfaction without systemd.
