I’m now using s6, which is great because nobody is using it so the best documentation is some random github page for running daemons with nix using various init programs.
Not everyone approves of it, not everyone likes it, and if you do have a Nvidia GPU, you might want to skip Alpine
But it is a good distro, small to the point you can easily memorize every part of the system and how things click together
OpenRC in it, as everything else, does the bare basic. RC only runs and manages your services and that’s it.
It doesn’t try to be your DNS provider, it doesn’t try to be your logs manager, it only deals with the services(which are bash scripts btw), and that’s it
I rock Alpine with XFCE4 and Pipewire, and its the most usable distro I’ve ever had
There is also GNOME and KDE, but haven’t tried them
Only main issue with it, is that it uses MUSL instead of GlibC which, makes some softwares not work or must be compiled from source

Just joined the openrc gang for good today
Gentoo?
Nah, artix. Although I did try gentoo out a while back on a spare laptop, I enjoyed it!
Nice, another OpenRC distro I really like and have been daily-driving is Alpine Linux Damn thing is so snappy
I keep meaning to try that at some point
