My household primarily runs Arch and Artix for our desktop OS and never have any issues with it, however we have had no end of issues with our home server* and it often ends up being related to systemd.

I am ideally looking for something that can just be left and updated less frequently that can also run docker containers, ideally using OpenRC but can also occasionally run a package on the host system. I’d prefer something GNU as well.

Please don’t reply with any “systemd works fine for me” or “what is your problem with systemd” like most that a search turns up.

Edit*: Probably should have mentioned that its been on CentOS, Ubuntu and then OpenSuse Leap

Docker containers often need to be restarted if they crash, I’m not aware of a solution for this that isn’t a monolithic service orchestrator, like systemd, dockerd, or containerd.

restart: unless-stopped works for automatic restarting of crashed containers.

Stop using a rolling release distro for something that you actually rely on day-to-day.

Not a single Ubuntu upgrade failure on my book anymore 🤞
