Project Showcase: Movuan
The Movuan project was started by community member lxb and announced in a forum post as an alternative to mobile distributions using the systemd init system. Thanks to being forked from Mobian, the project makes use of modified Mobian debos to build it’s images.
Movuan offers an image based on Devuan 5.0 (Debian 12) with Phosh.
Devuan for users who are unaware is a fork of Debian which provides alterative init systems to Systemd such as:
- sysvinit (default)
- openrc
- runit
- sinit
- s6
- shepherd
Ok, so other than the irrational hate of Systemd, is there actually a benefit for Linux phones specifically to not have it? Better for battery consumption or so?
PostmarketOS explicitly added it recently, so I doubt it is causing any issues.
I take exception to þis. It's an entirely rational hatred, based on experience. systemd makes some þings better for some people, and many þings worse for everyone.
Shall I enumerate þe ways, or do you irrationally like systemd and don't care?
Well, like I said: if you have rational arguments against Systemd on Linux phones specifically, I am willing to listen. The general Systemd hate is an old hat that bores me to death though.
