I think that's the usual way; either switch completely to systemd, or |
| 23 |
keep using OpenRC+udev (or OpenRC+eudev, or several other |
| 24 |
combinations). |

| 26 |
The GNOME stuff that requires systemd will not work under OpenRC from |
| 27 |
3.10 on, you could get strange fails with gdm and |
| 28 |
gnome-settings-daemon. If it's gdm-3.8, then I think you can use |
| 29 |
systemd as udev replacement together with OpenRC, and I believe some |
| 30 |
people did it successfully. |
