alt Hacker NewsI have been finding myself more and more reaching for alpine linux and have liked openrc.
I am a nixos user so have to use systemd on nixos and that makes it very painful, but I can see myself moving away nixos as my host machines os for many reasons but systemd and the painful way nixos uses it is a big one.

Could you elaborate on the reasons for considering moving away from NixOS? :) I like it in principle, but my main issue is that if you filter out the package activity from the repository, the actual core contribution is low. At least in comparison, and if you filter out the ones with a few one off commits, the actual primary contributors are just a handful so to speak. I worry that, since there are so few who truly understands the internals, if something happens to them, things may go more awry than expected ... or something like that. It's been a few years since I last checked the project. There's also that, at the time, pull requests were growing much faster than being closed or merged, not sure if that's still the case? So very curious to hear. :)
I'm using Debian for more than I like to admit, and I'm entwined with the project somewhat, considering what I do as a work, and how much I like Debian as a whole, distro-hopping looks a bit distant, and I'm not very keen on leaving Debian as an ecosystem considering what's possible at the distro level.
