I have seen so many times that systemd is insecure, bloated, etc. So i wonder ¿does it worth to switch to another init system?
The complaints are just a meme at this point. If you have to ask, don’t bother.
Short answer: if you’re asking this, then it’s not worth it.
Long answer: Ditching systemd in favor of something else is usually an act of experimentation. Folks that do it usually have had a negative experience with systemd, be it in its usage or from a problem they had that prevented them to boot their computers due to the tightly-coupled relationship between mainstream distros and systemd.
Also, preference is involved here, so you might prefer to assemble your system with independent pieces instead of a full-blown suite like systemd’s. You might also not like systemd’s UX so, as a user, you end up wanting to try something else.
If you have to ask, the benefits of another init system than systemd starts and stops at “you look smart.” I like runit a lot and would even recommend Void Linux as a daily driver if that’s your speed, but honestly anyone who actually was around before systemd knew how much sysvinit and co sucked.
This or https://artixlinux.org/ are the only options which come to mind and make some form of sense.
If you are willing to learn more about linux, I think its a good practice to try a distro with a different init system than d. Thats one of the reasons I have void linux on my home laptop.
If you have to ask, no.
I say this as someone who doesn’t use systemd. There’s not much benefit to it. It’s cool to do if you’re an enthusiast or experimentalist, but from a practical stand point, systemd is most practical.
I use gentoo with openRC btw.
Just install Void. It’s the only non-shit distro.
