Software: SINIT, Libcamera and Zstd

SINIT - The small cousin in the init family
Sinit is part of the suckless tools, these tools was designed to be as small and efficient as possible. In the effort to make them small, they also do away with many features. It is for this reason, you may want to use them, it is also why you have to use something else. To deploy these, you will need to decide what features you need and compile them in. This is why you can push 'small' to the extremes with the sinit package. The downside is that you must do many things yourself, this includes finding that other system to control daemons.
