  • We compare the boot times of Arch Linux with systemd and Artix Linux with Dinit, Runit, and S6 on an HDD drive. This video and the preceding one may be compared to highlight the differences.

    Yeah it gave quite distinct results, when it seemed that systemd tie with runit, on HDD it is not true! 19s is long compared to 13s dinit which surprised me a lot. Overall I would say dinit is in both disk category the winner. I don't rate usability, only speed and lightness on those comparisons.

      Yeah, Dinit is quick and extremely simple to use. S6 is also fast but hard to configure.

    Dinit and S6 are at the top with 13s, followed by Runit with 16s, and Systemd is the last.

      the funny thing systemD when first came out was claiming it was faster than sysVinit and that was one reason they claimed it was created (fast boot and load times) and that's when they stole/adopted systemDboot analyzer

    Very impressive, now let's see Open RC's startup time.

      I did make a video about all 4 (Dinit, S6, Runit, and OpenRC).

    Interesting... I would have expected a much bigger difference and soystemd to be the significantly slower. But the difference is just a couple of seconds.

    • @alphab91
      @alphab91  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the setup shown in the video was the default, however when you start adding services, it will become much slower. The others hardly undergo any kind of change.

    Those are definitely in margin of error which is expected.
    Some services just needs some optimization applied or be done in parallel with others.

    • @alphab91
      @alphab91  ปีที่แล้ว

      I set up each init system to its default settings. Yes, you can speed up the boot by optimizing them.

      @@alphab91 I meant in General terms, not just the init system. (Except systemd maybe, cause they're basically the whole OS now. No longer GNU/Linux, rather SystemD/Linux lol)
      Given how much time is wasten on some services like Network services which can definitely start at a later stage, E.G once the Desktop is up&running.

      OpenRC and other init systems are demonstrated in a video I've previously created. and since openRC finishes third, I naturally utilize the init system default config.
      I use Alpine Linux in the video.

      I think you can do some optimization.
