NOTE: This project was broken by a change in the 6.12 kernel that turns off cgroup v1 support by default. Therefore, this project is effectively retired.
This repo contains a fork of systemd-shim. It builds a Debian Buster/Bullseye/Bookworm/Trixie based debian package for MX Linux. It depends on a modified systemd (available here: https://salsa.debian.org/knelsonmeister/systemd or https://github.com/knelsonmeister/systemd)
Systemd-shim allows a system to boot up using a SYSV init, but still be able to support the modern programs that depend on systemd. It is not perfect, but it allows for a Linux distribution to support both SYSV init and systemd as a choice in the grub boot menu. MX Linux does just that. Debian used to support systemd-shim, but support was dropped in Debian Buster. This repo and the systemd repo linked above are an effort to maintain the systemd-shim support in Debian Buster, Debian Bullseye, Debian Bookworm, and Debian Trixie.
