Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux
(catfox.life)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While I do appreciate the effort, I cannot understand, who in their right mind would use musl and systemd together. For what purpose? If a person was already willing to manage a musl system, why wouldn't he also prefer sysVinit or runit or whatever?
Maybe because that person uses systemd everywhere else and just doesn't want the overhead of maintaining two different init systems.
He already has the overhead of maintaining to C libraries, which is a lot bigger problem.
Well then the answer will most likely be: because they can and want to do it.
