I tried it about a week ago but since i have zero interest in alternatives to systemd or gui tools I find its easy to just install something that uses the things i want by default.

If you enjoy having that extea option and managing it with gui tools then im glad mx works for you, but it seems overcomplicated with no practical benefit to me.

What can sysv do that systemd cant anyway?

I think you know its not just a matter of “clicking a setting in a gui once”

Why would you choose a non systemd based distro only to just switch it over to systemd? Why over complicate thinga for a new user who is clearly just starting out? Just use normal debian!

Mx linux is a bad chioce if you cant answer this yourself because its going to differ from most other debian distros. You probably want to use normal debian or linux mint if you are still learning.

To answer anyway; youll want to install lighttpd or similar server using apt, then firgure out the differences between sysvinit and systemd so you can properly configure the server to start.

If you just use debian instead, “sudo apt install lighttpd” would be enough to get everything started.

Dont worry im sure mozilla the ad company will be able to figure out a way to keepntheir CEO well paid.

i have ~/bin as a syncthing folder because i manage several machines and if i update a script on one machine i want that synced to all of them. Then i just use . local for stuff that doesnt need syncing.

If you dont torrent often you probably arent really needing port forwarding. I use mullvad and i torrent things all the time with zero issues.
