    Usage.

    Been a while since I last messed with it and my Linux skills (damn that sounds corny) have improved over the years. But when I used to drive a systemd distro there would be some service that would stall and I just could not make it work as intended, remembering my frustrations.

      I currently have some 2 user services for GUI apps always failing even though I added the graphical dependency services. Dependencies are prob the issue, and/or some issue NixOS config -> systemd.

      How has been your runit experience in comparison? s6 looks interesting

        It’s dumb, rather silly in comparison and it does nothing other than keeping services going - on Void Linux you symlink your services from /etc/sv/{service-name} to /var/services/ and there it goes off doing its thing.

        Systemd could probably provide some fancy features on my system but it’s a simple procrastination-station and so far I’ve not come up with anything I’m missing. Very happy camper.

        (Lemmy is acting up for me)
