As a recent convert. What the fuck are these names ? LET ME OPEN UP SCRUNGLE and use it to JINX my DOLPHIN. I get that they are trying to be witty but sometimes less is more.

    • systemd can be compiled with musl via patches (don’t know if they are upstream or not) but that was a very recent change.

      Void generally chooses its own in-house components (like their package manager) and alternative core stuff like musl and runit. I don’t know why anyone would choose doing that outside of DIY/purist tendencies.

        It’s a fun experiment, and a good way to keep alternative pathways maintained and vetted.

        Things like Void and Alpine are also great when it comes to containerization when you need a super small build, so they have utility.

        I don’t really think about my init system that much until I need to, and have never had any issues with systemd, so I’m agnostic on the whole thing lol
