It is very unlikely that Gentoo would switch to systemd. Study for yourself the huge forum threads, such as: Why is Gentoo not switching to systemd? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-998108.html ( pls. notice here the poll: I <3 systemd!! I want Gentoo to switch!! 12% [ 26 ] Get that horse-crap away from Gentoo as far as possible! 87% [ 186 ] ) Why is Gentoo not switching to systemd?

Believe me, a non-systemd Gentoo is I could almost say from my experiencs, almost very close to perfection (I however use a kind of minimalist install: I hate and never intend to use in any way in my system the *dbus*[**], the great partner to systemd in poetterizing FOSS Linux). That presented in defence of Gentoo, you never know. Such as: My most favorite, my most admired program in FOSS, the program that I believe fixes the hooks for the one-ring cravers in the FOSS Linux kernel introduced since the LSM, and which program, actually a set of patches to the kernel, I dreamed of some day teaching newbies how to deploy in their Devuan (as I have with success taught newbies in Devuan, bafore the disgusting systemd took over Debian, has gone incompleteware: the grsecurity Read who is interested, since I do remeber, from some of my previous few participations in the discussion here, that there are some devs[*] in Devuan, who deploy grsecurity and know the huge benefits of grsecurity: Intel Subsidiary's Violations Made Grsec withdraw Stable? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1031476.html Regards!
