Thank you very much, tux0r!
I have never heard of Artix.
It seems interesting especially to build an Arch server!

Although I don't have a strong opinion about systemd (because of shallow understanding), I remember I enjoyed using OpenRC when I used Alpine Linux.

By the way, I found the Debian fork Devuan without systemd as well as Artix when I studied Artix some time ago.

OpenRC is nice. (In fact, I currently have a toy Gentoo machine which is the main platform for OpenRC.) I mostly jumped off the Linux ship before systemd, and all that I can read about it is how many problems it makes to have a monolithic can-do-all software running as PID 1. I don't think that I'd want to make my own experiences with it.

You and the web world are my big teachers :)

My mother said that I would be a horrible teacher. I'm a cynic.

Hi, tux0r!
Thank you about the detail.

I have studied about systemd, SysVinit and upstart for a couple of days.
And I understood your saying, at least a part of it:

how many problems it makes to have a monolithic can-do-all software running as PID 1

What I understand is that it is a trade off between speed and stability.
And I seemed to understand why, in my past experiment, Ubuntu executed something faster than Alpine Linux or OpenBSD.

My mother said that I would be a horrible teacher. I'm a cynic.

To be frank, I couldn't find what to say, because I definitely know about you by far less than your mother 🤣

Sorry for a wrong expression.
I tried to mean "dozens of minutes ago" using "some time ago" 😅
It's true I haven't known Artix since you taught me.
