What init system do you use on your Linux distro?
Runit
What distro?
Devuan (XFCE) with Linux-libre kernel. I run it on my old MacBook A1181 with Libreboot, boots up super fast.
Oh wow, that's an incredibly old MacBook. But it's one of the cool MacBooks. I had no idea that Devuan was still around, I felt like it got deprecated and I switched to Artix and later back to Gentoo so I could avoid systemd. Gentoo is a pain in the ass on a laptop though, compiling packages takes half an eternity. I started using Linux back in 2002, Gentoo was actually my first distro, installing from a stage 1 tarball wasn't fun. They actually want deprecate stage 1 tarballs, which is a good step. I use OpenRC btw
