NixOS is the only thing that made systemd a reasonable tool for me.

I do not like the entire paradigm of how it works.

    I love NixOS, but I hate how coupled to systemd it is.

    I tried to make a microVM image of NixOS the other day, using tini as the init system. Large parts of the core NixOS lifecycle simply don’t work at all without systemd.

    Maybe Guix or Finix?

    Ah hell, I keep seeing recommendations for Guix. I guess I’ll have to try it out soon.

    It would be hilarious though, because in addition to wanting to get off of systemd I would like to try getting off of glibc. If the answer to “no systemd” is “more GNU”, that would be poetic.
