Man don't make me learn something else to start avoiding systemd. Its just so much more convenient than the alternatives.

OpenRC is really not that bad.

Its not, I was using it when I ran Gentoo, but its substantially more present if that makes sense. When I'm using systemd I don't have to think about it when I'm configuring my system in normal circumstances but with openrc it's always something that had to be accounted for.

That's exactly why we adhere to Unix philosophy.

If software does too much it's harder to replace.

For Arch users: Artix with dinit is the easiest to switch to without getting a headache, as dinitctl commands are really similar to systemctl commands, package names are pretty much identical to Arch Linux, and AUR works (but you will have to find the dinit scripts for those AUR packages that have a system service).
