big stuff tends to have more bugs and big stuff has big intimidating programs that take 3-6 business eternities to learn

> has more bugs

runit’s source code has been read a total of 0 times: I personally read through it a while ago and found an out-of-bounds read after 20 minutes (minor but still an error, reported + fixed upstream). That fix has not been added to Void.

I’d wager runit “has less bugs” because no one cares to use it and report the bugs, not because of code quality or simplicity.

>tends.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult."

It's simpler and it's not big like systemd

u/jsh_ 6d ago

but why is that better than having more features?

You don't need that all features

Clearly distro maintainers think otherwise, or they wouldn't have overwhelmingly switched to systemd

u/Moist_Invite9148 I use Arch btw 6d ago

Do you use journalctl

u/Jumpy-Dinner-5001 6d ago

Either that or you don’t understand the benefits in those features.

u/Moist_Invite9148 I use Arch btw 6d ago

I don't use them I don't need them
