Re: [GTALUG] summary, bottom line, my last word [was: soapbox, what I consider a GParted failure]

Even better than an editor war: a /sbin/init war! To boil down a long thread: 1) systemd is the default, and integrates a lot of features, but consequently has a large attack surface; 2) there are more minimal init systems (like https://smarden.org/runit/ - pretty interesting) that may be easier to audit and have comparable functionality. I'm not sure I'm willing to commit the required time/focus to switch out systemd with runit, but I'm glad to know there are good options. Thanks, all, for the discussion, ../Dave
