    Well you’re right but the more postmarketOS grows, the harder it is to switch to another init system

      They are giving options, no one is forced anything. People should complain upstream at init systems and desktopmobile environments.

        It does have disadvantages. The only real advantage of it is the completeness of system administration tools. Since they aren’t that much needed on a phone and the performance of that class of devices is not groundbreaking, using another init system is a good idea. Though it depends on what the specific user wants of course. As long as there is a way to change the init system, it shouldn’t be a problem

          Another init will be slower and will require much more time and resources though.

              Systemd was created to allow parallel initialization, which other init systems lacked. If you want proof that one processor core is slower than one + n, you don’t need to compare init systems to do that.

                I’ve never heard of that. I only heard that other init systems usually have better performance. And well even if it’s not the case, security is another massive concern

                  I mean, sysvinit was just a bunch of root-executed bash scripts. I’m not sure if systemd is really much worse.

        Systemd is the standard for a reason.

        1. bad build process
        2. ignoring best practice
        3. RedHat forcing it on the planet
        4. people forgetting that every deliverable of systemd is a lie.

          I don’t have an opinion on the whole systemd debate but are you going to expand on what you’re meaning, or will just keep spewing bs bullet points? Specially n4, wtf do you mean by that?
