As I said to András, you have the wiki: |

Well, as stated earlier, ConsoleKit is basically abandonware. Samuli |
| 24 |
mentions "contingency plans" for when CK is no longer an option, but |
| 25 |
all and any of those paths will be playing catching up with systemd. |
| 26 |
The standards are now being defined by systemd. And, of course, there |
| 27 |
are those of us who believe that systemd is in fact a much better |
| 28 |
option than OpenRC (or any other init system). |

Thanks to the efforts of people like Fabio Erculiani, right now is |
| 31 |
kinda easy to switch back and forth between systemd and OpenRC. In |
| 32 |
Sabayon (a Gentoo derivative) you can actually choose at boot time |
| 33 |
wich init to use. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I would say try it now, when it is relatively easy to switch. |
