For the record, everything I use (desktop, laptop, media center, servers, etc.) uses Gentoo with systemd. Several of them doesn't have GNOME (the servers obviously don't even have X). All the "components" in my use cases (which I confess are really standard) work. In my experience, if it works in Gentoo with OpenRC, it will work with systemd (and, IMHO, sometimes better). The other way around is, obviously as per this whole thread, not true. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
