Yes, GNOME 3.8+ does require sys-apps/systemd installed and running as |
| 17 |
init= for full functionality[1] |

However if you don't care about full functionality[1] you can still run |
| 20 |
GNOME 3.8+ with OpenRC while sys-apps/systemd is installed (because |
| 21 |
sys-apps/systemd has it's own copy of udev that still works with OpenRC) |
