OpenRC is the official init system of Funtoo Linux, and we explicitly do not support SystemD. Why? For a lot of reasons. We believe that an operating system's init system is one of its distinctive characteristics, and is something we care about. Gentoo used to be a leader in this area, with the first dependency-based init system being created in the early 2000's. Later, this init system was ported to C and became what is now known as OpenRC. We would rather support OpenRC going forward and look at other interesting possibilities than moving in lock-step with SystemD. We believe that the initial startup process is an area where innovation and independence is important.
