Yeah, systemd hater or not, runit is quite fabulous Imo.
Some software with a hard requirement on systemd will not work, of course. I believe it is possible to run void using systemd, I’ve never tried though.
I really like runit, but once it’s configured, like systemd, I mostly just don’t see it anymore - you know what I mean…
Give it a shot, for me it’s the packaging system, take a look at it and at the github “void-repository”.
I really like how it’s working, the simplicity of it, create your own package, your own repository, etc.
The killer features, for me, isn’t really runit, but the stability of a rolling distro with the xbps package system.
people laughed at me for choosing debian. they asked why i chose to have ancient runes running in my computer
who’s laughing now?
We are still laughing, no worries.
p.s. Debian is great, I am just a “kind of new” void converted.
went looking for it. “stable rolling release” sounds really interesting, but i’m scared of installing it and being mistaken for a systemd hater
