I have recently discovered Devuan which seems to be Debian without systemd - what is the benefit of removing this init system?

My PC boots almost instantly now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gamey@feddit.rocks 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I never had a fast NVME SSD so my devices boot significantly slower than yours but unless you are actually at the point of instant booting it's about half the boot time for me. I only use OpenRC on my Pinephone because it's the default for PostmarketOS (a Alpine based OS for mobile phones) and never found a good enough reason to use it on my actual computer but it's quite a bit faster and also quite a bit less convinient so all in all probably not worth it but still impressive to watch! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 2 points 3 years ago I am on an NVMe drive, however most of my boot time actually comes from the POST process so even if I were to switch to an OpenRC (or runit / another init system), it wouldn't really have any meaningful impact on my system's boot time unfortunately. ❯ systemd-analyze time Startup finished in 17.412s (firmware) + 2.684s (loader) + 3.587s (kernel) + 2.134s (initrd) + 9.244s (userspace) = 35.063s graphical.target reached after 9.208s in userspace. permalink fedilink source parent
