Which musl based non-systemd Linux distro should I try on desktop? OpenRC preferably, but anything goes really.

Also, I would be keen on trying non-GNU coreutils but that might be a stretch too far lol

Descendants

Current contenders are Alpine, Chimera, Void and possibly something Gentoo based like Xenia. Idk if Void’s init system is my cup of tea tho. Any experiences? Gentoo seems scary with building everything from source lol

@janvhs none, because why would you want non-systemd (on a desktop)? And musl as well, whyyy? :P

@lw64 really just for fun :P and musl because you can actually read the code compared to glibc ahaha

I think most services on my system don’t use any of systemd‘s special features, so it should just work for the most part :blobfoxthink:
