Distros Not Using Systemd

No, you don’t.

At first i’ve read it: uefi OR void

Definitely VOID then!

LizziAS · January 14, 2021, 3:09pm

First thing I’ll do in the void is see if there is anyone named sithis here. I’m doubting it.

If hes there i’m gonna bonk him on the bean…

LizziAS · January 14, 2021, 4:01pm

it’s installed, i can log in, i updated the system, installed nonfree and multilib repos and steam. that’s enough for taoday. ill do more tomorrow.

Why not? I once installed it in a vm and did not experience major issues.

Nice distro Void I used it for a long time forgot why i stopped using it about the time the project leader went on walk about.

keybreak · January 16, 2021, 7:56am

So you did it!

Happy experiments!

Love the virtual box not working.png though

LizziAS · January 16, 2021, 1:34pm

and where is that found?

freebird54 · January 16, 2021, 1:38pm

Desktop icons, 2nd from bottom on screenshot. Why is not answerable from here…

LizziAS · January 16, 2021, 5:38pm

Oh!!!

LizziAS · January 16, 2021, 5:48pm

After you posted that comment I installed the virtual box ose stuffs but your right I can’t find an icon for it or figure out how to start vb on void. DOH! Also eso does not get as far as the character loading before crashing and usually locks up while logging in. Tried all versions of steam play with that result or worse. Def tossing this back to the void. Seems really well done otherwise. But those errors make this distribution a NoGo at this station.

LizziAS · January 16, 2021, 5:51pm

And I thought minion was going to be the breaking point on this one but I got that running

I was pretty confident with void until I realized I couldn’t figure out what sensor inxi was missing. It was up to that point pulling in all the optional dependencies

For enthusiasts who wish to not use systemd i can now report the Obarun is working for me as required for dkms, virtualbox, and for steam and steam games like Elder Scrolls Online. The usb uses JWM but you can install jwn, openbox, xfce, or plasma from the installer. The installer is a script and you must define mount points according to /mnt. Not to difficult really. preformat your partitions ahead of time and it will be easier still.

obarun is working as desired

LizziAS · February 6, 2021, 4:10am

as given me a great deal of hand holding support to help me auto login and i have everything working like i wish and mate is installed and auto login works and steam works and amdgpu works and my games run and my virtualbox of windows 10 for tamriel trade center works and everything is as it should be Because of all the help they gave me with my system.

Autologging in with mate on obarun

Yes Eric is a great guy lots of patience lots of knowledge of the Arch system and Linux

LizziAS · February 26, 2021, 10:32am

I went to calculate linux as it has a gentoo base but for the life of me i cant get anyone to say much of anything. I think i need to rebuil alsa for multilib support but no one is talking.

I swear it’s a conspiracy to keep me using systemd

LizziAS · March 3, 2021, 9:19am

its even worse in the forums. sudo please help

Kresimir · March 3, 2021, 9:27am

So, your new hobby is to find obscure distros and spam their inactive forums with help requests? That’s not very nice… In a couple of weeks when someone finally logs in, they are going to see a bunch of messages and be upset with you.

You may as well give up and just use soystemd… It’s not good, but it’s better than the alternatives (that’s also true for Linux, tbh…)…

At least until we get GNU/Hurd with Wayland and Pipewire and Half-Life 3…

Trekkie00 · March 3, 2021, 9:36am

@LizziAS
I guess it’s not a problem with people not WILLING to help.
A lot of people who switched OS “recently” will most likely be completely unexperienced with sysvinit stuff.
Who deals voluntarily with such ancient and unnecessarily difficult to handle (compared to systemd) stuff, if something really good and progressive like systemd exists?

I would heavily contradict.
