This is about the only TRUE without-systemd full distribution, with nearly most of arch packages working well, or rather faster with less resources used. Obarun is approaching a decade of history and reliability and those of us who got to experience it keep coming back. I would add joborun for more demanding users getting closer to bleeding edge (arch-testing) and are interested in building the entire installation otpiimized for machine from source, otherwise the same with Obarun. If you like pacman and dislike systemd and its biproducts (elogind, udev, ...) and you want simple clean builds and dependencies Obarun and Joborun are for you. The myth about instability and breakage of Arch is more of an identity and scarecrow of arch, but Obarun builds well after arch-stable to avoid any such rare mishaps. If it wasn't for Obarun I would leave linux all together and move to BSD land, openBSD most likely. There hasn't been a distro I tried that even comes close to this. Was this review helpful?

You can write scripts similar to systemd unit files Cons: - the community is poorly managed. They don't have an active chatroom (I went there once and there were only 2 or 3 people) and you can't sign up on the forums. I've emailed the owner but never got any responses. - Many of the 66tools commands aren't logically consistent, so they have usability issues. - The docs are outdated. As much as I want to use it, I've had to go back to Ubuntu. Was this review helpful?

I LIKE OBARUN for being systemd free and much like archlinux but without systemd THANK YOU ejm Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 15 reader reviews of Obarun...
