systemd cat and GNU cat hugging a Linux cat.
OpenBSD
GNU Guix System, using GNU Shepherd as init. It does its job quite well.
How is Guix? I run NixOS right now, and I didn't find Guix until like right after I invested all the time and effort to learn Nix. I kind of want to switch, but I also don't really want to abandon Nix right after I learned it.
The main difference with NixOS is that it's fully free. Another difference is that the language used for configuration in Guix is Scheme, a general purpose functional language.
Not much else different? That's kinda what I expected, about the same experience, just in Guile Scheme instead of Nix and with a different package repo.
Lot's of Systemd apologists, barely one answer to the question.
I misread and wondered when did systemd release cat as in the software not the animal.
Totally Guix, it has no systemd and is able to roll back to the last working in case you break anything somehow
OpenWRT
I personally think AROS ( AROS Research Operating Syste ) is pretty cool. Same with just the basic Amiga Workbench 3 series ( the only one I have any experience with ).
Obviously Amiga Workbench isn't daily driver ready, but neither is AROS since it's, from what I can tell, just an Amiga OS passion project trying to make a more modern more open source Amiga OS.
MacOS.
But my actually favourite OS does use systemd.
I use Gentoo. I install systemd willingly. We are not the same.
Alpine. No GNU and systemD.
MacOS. I use Linux for servers, Mac for daily driver. Windows for zilch, only at my job because I have to.
Normie here, what's wrong with systemd?
Nothing, it's just bloated but in practice if your system meets normal distros system requirements systemd isn't going to make that much of a difference in practical use.
Nintendo 3DS
GrapheneOS for Google Pixels, LineageOS for any other phone.
OS/2
In terms of Linux, either Devuan sysvinit, Void, or Alpine.
I am also a fan of BSD.
MX Linux of course
Kolibri, which only needs a handful of RAM and disk space
Hint: :q!
