It was Canek's rational explanations about systemd that made me |
30 |
interested enough to try it, and I'm glad I did. He made good technical |
31 |
arguments in favour of it whereas most of the arguments against it are |
32 |
either based on Lennartphobia or false fact gained from other systemd |
33 |
haters. |

|
35 |
I also see the position as somewhat different with Gentoo, because openrc |
36 |
is so much better than the other "traditional" systems out there, in fact |
37 |
it shares some of the benefits of systemd. As a result, I run a mixture |
38 |
of both systems. I prefer systemd now, but not enough to go through the |
39 |
hassle of switching over an already working system. That wouldn't be the |
40 |
case if those other systems weren't running openrc. |
