That echoes my own sentiment pretty well. OpenRC is one reason I stayed with |
| 45 |
Gentoo, because it seemed better to me than the way other distros did things |
| 46 |
(well, better than Suse, at least, which was the other distro I tried way back |
| 47 |
then). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
However, now I default to systemd, because for me it's even better than |
| 50 |
OpenRC. Plus, I don't have so many systems that I couldn't migrate them all |
| 51 |
