how good is Gentoo's systemd support? after a years on Arch i've realized that instead of managing my shitton mixed pkgbuilds in the private repo I could just have it all with ebuilds and not run into circular deps every 5 minutes. however systemd has some features that I possibly cannot replace and thus would like to avoid switching but I've heard that systemd support is kinda second class and i'd have to rewrite some ebuilds to integrate with systemd
Can't speak first-hand on the systemd experience but most ebuilds have a systemd use-flag to compile in support. This is usually set systemwide in your make.conf file. You might have better luck asking this question on forums.Gentoo.org. It's pretty active.
>>106555080Thank you
>>106555080No problem, also minor correction: your not likely to set the systemd use flag yourself, but rather chose a systemd profile during installation. This wiki page has more info: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Profile_(Portage).
>>106554438Systemd integration is basically on par with openrc by now. I run systemd gentoo on both my desktop system and on my k8s cluster cause and never had any issues. All other things equal, it's slightly slower to boot and more ram intensive, on the other hand I like the unit file specification a lot more.
