I have ported #systemd to #musl. Properly. Passing all tests, properly. Booting my 2012 Ivy Bridge in 3.2 seconds, properly.

I'm aware of how unpopular this will be in some circles.

Not a requirement, but an option.

@awilfox I don't care for systemd, but this is still pretty cool!

@awilfox This is pretty cool! I don't even like systemd but porting to musl must have been an incredible effort.

Hopefully more software can be interchanged between different libcs too
