No complaints here. I've used eudev ever since I started using Gentoo |
| 39 |
back in 2012, to escape systemd. I'm completely okay with us |
| 40 |
defaulting to eudev. In fact, I wonder why it hasn't already happened. |
| 41 |
Upstream is actively against Gentoo, after all [1]. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Out of curiosity, which distros are shipping with eudev by default? |
