  • Does anybody use openrc? Ive used systemd on my gentoo install until recently my x99 motherboard just killed itself. Which i had LUKS + secureboot + tpm which left my gentoo install unrecoverable. I have a stage 4 tarball which is 2 months old that i can recover from. But im almost tempted to try to run OpenRC as my init system. Does anybody use openrc and if so what experiences have you had in comparison to systemd?

    I know theres more steps to getting services setup compared to systemd at least in the gentoo install guide.




  • Its a CM3588 NAS board from friendly elec running openmedia vault Debian 11 with home-manager for nixpkgs. I run nextcloud for backing up my phone storage every night. And have SMB share setup for all my laser cuting files! Originally all my files for my business where running off a 4tb USB HDD which was starting to fail. And yes there was no backups. So after I made a little money selling my laser cut goods. Bought the CM3588 nas board with 2 one terabyte sata m.2 ssd’s which are in raid 1 for redudancy. Also have a off site backup on the computer that runs the laser. And another tid bit all the computers I use are exclusively linux. The computer that runs the laser is zoron OS. My main rig runs nixos, my LAN gaming machine runs gentoo aswell as the laptop where I do most of the fianaces and designing. The laptop is a t440p which is librebooted and runs gentoo :D.

    Hope that’s enough detail!! Lmao
