Hi, I’d run it a bit differently: |
| 15 |
- change profile |
| 16 |
- force-remove gnome (emerge -aC) |
| 17 |
- double checking USE flags and updating @world as usual |
| 18 |
- cleanup (emerge --ask --verbose --clean) |
| 19 |
- install services that aren’t already installed as a dep (maybe anacron or ntpd/chrony) |
| 20 |
- Adding the services to appropriate runlevels (e.g. rc-update add xdm default) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
- If necessary, replacing udev with eudev. I don’t remember if it got changed automatically |
| 23 |
a while ago on one of my systems due the switch. |
| 24 |

If you didn’t explicitly removed OpenRC you have it already installed, (removal is possible though), |
| 26 |
and sysvinit gets pulled in by OpenRC ;-) |
| 27 |

BTW, I personally like elogind (a standalone "cut off" of systemd-logind) and can suggest it |
| 29 |
as a surrogate for consolekit2. Support by the upstream is incredible fast. |

Have fun :) |
