While OpenRC is likely perfectly capable of starting/stopping daemons as |
| 26 |
a normal user (with some tweaks), I expect systemd replacing init, to |
| 27 |
already have a fair bit of isssues with being just a normal unprivileged |
| 28 |
user. I may be wrong, of course. However, the notorious reputation of |
| 29 |
that piece of software aiming for system-domination doesn't really make |
| 30 |
it sound to me like it ever will be a good match for Prefix. |
