When I became a Gentoo developer, 8 years ago, Gentoo had the most |
| 14 |
advanced init system of any distribution. It still works exactly the |
| 15 |
same, openrc being just a mostly pointless effort to re-do the same |
| 16 |
thing in C. systemd is where the innovation is today and we, Gentoo, |
| 17 |
should get on board or be left behind. And GNOME is indeed in the |
| 18 |
driving seat for much of the innovation in system components these days, |
| 19 |
because as Gnome developers, we fix the system components instead of |
| 20 |
working around their bugs. |
