Hello /g/ents,I'm new relatively new to Linux, I used Crunchbang (based on Debian) for about a week, then switched to Arch Linux and have been using it for about 2 months and want to try out Gentoo. In Crunchbang I never messed with the init, so I'm on

Hello /g/ents,

I'm new relatively new to Linux, I used Crunchbang (based on Debian) for about a week, then switched to Arch Linux and have been using it for about 2 months and want to try out Gentoo. In Crunchbang I never messed with the init, so I'm only familiar with systemd.

Could you guys explain the pros and cons of OpenRC and systemd and what you'd recommend on Gentoo? Oh /tech/ when someone brings up systemd or other inits people start calling each other faggots and shills and it just turns into a shitfest. I'm hoping I can find a rational discussion there.

>Linux
GNU/Linux to be precise.

>pros and cons of OpenRC and systemd
>openrc
traditional, small, niche
>systemd
modern, broad, is bringing unification among many, many distros

>what you'd recommend on Gentoo?
whatever you prefer. if you plan on using modern gnome then openrc might be painful.
