Gentoo comes with OpenRC as default so I roll with it. And it's simple and it works.
Plus the idea of having to randomly wait for some obscure stuff to block for a minute the boot/shutdown is not my thing.
The cool thing with Gentoo is that you can just decide one day to switch to systemd and it's about as easy as changing your profile and updating your system (and maybe recompiling your kernel)
You have to compile everything though, even from a stage 2 installation. I haven't attempted one for like 15 years, but I imagine it's still not quick.
Did you know Gentoo has binary packages now?
Dafuq?
That goes against everything I know about Gentoo....
They are also shipping x86-64 v3 packages. Something that on arch you still rely on 3rd party repos.
or you can use cachyos. running V3 packages on vanilla arch makes it more prone to breakage.
