I suggest you read the systemd docs. Installing systemd will not |
| 11 |
remove sysvinit or openrc. However, after you change your kernel |
| 12 |
command line they will not be run as pid1 or as a service manager, and |
| 13 |
systemd has its own configuration for services. You can basically |
| 14 |
switch back and forth as long as you maintain your settings in |
| 15 |
parallel. |

There is work to make it possible to use systemd without having openrc |
| 18 |
installed. The main issue right now is a few packages use functions |
| 19 |
in openrc which are not present in systemd, so that needs some |
| 20 |
refactoring. However, having them both installed in parallel doesn't |
| 21 |
really cost anything besides a few inodes (and not all that many). |
