Sorry if I ask a dumb question. Can I be able to change gentoo systemd to openrc ?
I mean I am used to systemd and I am installing gentoo with systemd , I just want to know if at somepoint I can change to openrc .

Anything you do in Gentoo can be changed, undone, redone. Apart from rm -fR / perhaps.

I think the NSA knows how to undo that if you don't write on the disk afterward. |

Some things are difficult to the point of being relatively impractical. Two examples come to mind:- Switching from a 32-bit system to a 64-bit system or vice versa.
- Downgrading glibc.

@Tony0945
You can do that at home, too. Not worth to restore Gentoo install this way, IMHO.

@John,
you can add switching from no-multilib to multilib. Although it can be done.

Didn't Debian switch to systemd because of NSA?
