an unscientific survey ​​

(if you use both choose whatever is on the system you use most)

@ielenia uses systemd, wishes not to

@ielenia currently using it but given recent stuff don't want to :/

@ielenia currently viewing this post from a machine running gentoo, openrc

@ielenia neither of the laptops I mainly use have systemd (one is guix with shepherd, the other is alpine with openrc), but I use it on servers (debian and gentoo)

I'm somewhat regretting using systemd on my gentoo server (which I installed relatively recently, but before I knew that systemd was slopified) but at this point I'm stuck with it because it's going to be very difficult to switch away without reinstalling or breaking everything

@ielenia I'm normal and just use openrc

@0x6e6174

“normal”
is natalie

i highly doubt that

@ielenia @0x6e6174 I'd say 6e6174b8-4dcb-4323-b5ca-c217425e13a7 is pretty normal on this front, but then again I am biased

@ada @ielenia don't say that around the systemd man

@ada @ielenia <ben-shapiro-voice>this is modern linux</ben-shapiro-voice>

@ielenia should I skip this poll or answer for a linux device I don’t daily drive

@ielenia (I don’t daily drive a linux system)

@CenTdemeern1 answer for whatever linux system you use most

@ielenia oki

@ielenia My main laptop currently runs Debian (since 2022 when I first got it, same install ever since) as well as my main desktop computer (although I don't really use it anymore, so imo it doesn't count) but every other computer I have now runs Alpine Linux.

@ielenia
currently using MX Linux (and occasionally Antix) because it's just Debian without systemd and with a somewhat stronger focus on casual desktop use.

@ielenia both

@ielenia if its good enough for debian its good enough for me

-carrie

@ielenia use it basically everywhere where it’s applicable

@aperture @ielenia well debian has both systemd and non-systemd support

so =w=

@navi @ielenia if its good enough for debian for the kind of stupid user i am then its good enough for me

-carrie

@aperture @ielenia fair lol :V

@ielenia both. the system i am typing on uses systemd while my desktop uses openrc
