#SysVinit 3.10 Resolves Bootlogd Loop Issue

https://linuxiac.com/sysvinit-3-10-resolves-bootlogd-loop-issue/

Quería compartirles una distro 100% libre como #Trisquel pero sin #systemd.
Esta es base #Devuan pudiendo elegir entre #runit, #sysvinit y #s6 experimental. Además viene con el kernel linux-libre por defecto.

Se llama GNUinOS!!!

MX Service Manager: a new mx-tool!

A new MX tool is now available in the repositories for MX 21 and MX 23.

►MX Service Manager is a tool for starting, stopping, enabling and disabling services.

►MX Service Manager operates with both systemd and sysVinit and is desktop-agnostic.

@berkough Personally, I'd not he against switching an init system if that made sense.

#SysVinit was slow af woth boot times in the minutes.
#SystemD retained compatibility yet removed the slow linearity by parallelization.

Just like #Wayland won as #X11 / #Xorg successor whilst also providing compatibility.

What I think would be interesting is what @fuchsiii suggested to me:
A "slimmed down" #systemd for #embedded and #minimalist systems.
I called that "#smolD"…
