Look, I use linux, OpenBSD, Apple and even Microsoft operating systems. I thought the video provided a unique perspective to the systemd discourse that I thought people would be interested in seeing if they hadn’t already.

I couldn’t care less if Debian announced that Debian 13 is going to default to s6 or runit as the init system. I have no loyalty to systemd other than the Linux distros I use have integrated with it.

The linked article introduced me to s6 which is interesting. I do think there is value in simpler codebases a la wireguard, toybox, and doas. None of the hostilities towards one init project over the other have ever made sense to me but “the battle” was mostly fought before I got into Linux.

What's unique about it? That Benno tosses out a reference to BSD here and there? Otherwise it's just a video of someone dismissing criticism out of hand. Could've gotten that from Lennart.
