What init system do you use on MX, the default (sysVinit) or systemd?

That's how it was with me. I have used Manjaro for a long time, especially when the openrc version was still available. When this version was discontinued, I went to Artix Linux.
In the beginning, I had problems with the reinstallation of the system. Meanwhile, the devs have solved many problems and there are new iso available. Right now I'm using both MX Linux and Artix Linux.
So if MX Linux changes to systemd as the default init system, I will switch completely to Artix Linux.

I have been curious about Artix and its capabilities, as well. I plan on testing a version in VBox, probably using Openbox, maybe fluxbox and/or xfce. (We should probably take this off-line or open a systemd-free Distro discussion thread.)

I think this would be a good idea :)

I recently changed to SysVinit, which was not my intention when building one systemd-free (nor systemd-shim) MX respin for testing. But the results.... amazing speed performance, instant responsive, and screen & font sharpness. These are obvious, especially in Gnome which is heavier than Xfce. As well as, with one install having an "life time" upgrade through major releases.

Here you can test on your current install:

very good idea, what do you think of devuan?

Since you agree with manyroads, please create a new thread to talk about systemd-free distros.

I use sysVinit on MX. I've been using Linux for over 20 years, and I've only had one problem that I couldn't fix, which was with systemd.

I use Linux Mint as my main system, but MX is my backup in case LM won't boot (or shut down properly).

I use the default.

I am still learning a lot about Linux systems so I'm very much an end user kind of guy at this point. I didn't know I had a choice. I also have no idea what impact my making a choice about this would have on me. I don't know enough about these things to make an informed decision in any case.

As long as Steam works, I don't think I care much about the init system! :P

I've upgraded 2.88 to 2.95 (just to experience) .. And I tried OpenRC previously (parallel mode enabled) with no issues and with almost no advantages like faster booting on both old & newer laptops... And once I wanted to try Runit (just out of curiosity) with no success... (Anyone managed to install and use Runit, by the way? )
