Literally nothing happens.
Linux init conservatives: Alright that's the final straw, systemd!

OpenRC gang
- Just joined the openrc gang for good today
  
  Gentoo?
- OpenRC > Runit > S6 >>>>>>>>>> SystemD
  
  I'm now using s6, which is great because nobody is using it so the best documentation is some random github page for running daemons with nix using various init programs.
  
  Y u s

On systemd.. first i am hearing about this. Am I in danger?
- What happened?
  
  Nothing I can find. The latest release has a "breaking changes" section but that is nothing unusual. All software has breaking changes from time to time and should be addressed by your distro maintainers.
- Same. I'm on Debian tho so I've got ~6 months until it affects me :D
- I guess it's that the versions aren't in ${major}.${minor}.${patch} format, but just a continuous number. But who tf cares, it's human readable and any competent version comparing tool (eg. pacman's vercmp, I use arch btw) should handle it fine, considering they also need to handle git's much more annoying commit version thingy.
  
  There absolutely are minor versions, but no patch releases. E.g. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v256.9 which includes no new functionalities, as these are limited to major releases
- ...about what?
- Well it's a new systemd release so probably.

systemd or openrc. Others suck
- Openrc is kind of painful. I would go normal busybox init over openrc.
  
  busybox init barely starts anything
