My household primarily runs Arch and Artix for our desktop OS and never have any issues with it, however we have had no end of issues with our home server* and it often ends up being related to systemd.

I am ideally looking for something that can just be left and updated less frequently that can also run docker containers, ideally using OpenRC but can also occasionally run a package on the host system. I'd prefer something GNU as well.

Please don't reply with any "systemd works fine for me" or "what is your problem with systemd" like most that a search turns up.

Edit*: Probably should have mentioned that its been on CentOS, Ubuntu and then OpenSuse Leap

I'm just curious, what's your reason or preference for using an alternate init system, if you don't mind?

[-] CatTrickery@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Most of the usual reasons really. Resolved, networkd and the journal were the culprits of the mess that happened last night though.

I think op explicitly stated they don't want to diskuss the "why not systemd?" thing.

Which is dumb. "Please help me solve this problem I don't want to talk about."

TO has personal problems with x and looks for alternatives to x, not for solutions in x.
