So,

I’ve never bothered with this before, since systemD seems to work just fine.

But I did this year stop using Ubuntu for most of my hosting needs and moved to Alpine or Debian, depending on what I’m doing.

So it makes sense to optimize even more. I read up a little about why people dislike systemD. Good reasons if mainly you’re worried that it’s doing too much and is too heavy.

So what are the alternatives that work with both Alpine and Debian? What are people using? Is it relatively easy to move from systemD to whatever is your alternative?

Thanks!

    You can go with Debian (or Devuan), easily. My home server is running Proxmox on metal (Debian-based itself), virtualized OPNSense, and multiple Debian containers on an i3-4150 and previously 4GB RAM (now mis-matched 10GB).
