 |

Hi,
My gentoo profile is set to
| Code: | | default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd * |
But I found the OpenRC is still emerged and is required by @system. Any idea?
Thanks~

As I understand it:Because systemd is an *alternate* init, OpenRC remains the default. There remains enough of OpenRC to get you booting by changing the kernel boot line, which could one day rescue your system, or to allow one to back out of systemd at a later date if they so choose. |
