I so wish Gentoo/BSD was a thing once again.
If you want, you could always start it up yourself, put the kernel and any odd deps in a portage overlay, and see what happens. I for one welcome the project and would enthusiastically support its return.
Though I recommend switching to the hardenedBSD kernel instead. It would just feel… Right seeing that come home.
In theory, it should be fine with a non-systemd init. OpenRC is tradition in Gentoo after all, and OpenRC is from BSD.
even debian dropped the attempt at using FreeBSD’s kernel, it is just too alien to Linux, Hurd in the other hand pretty much tries as best as it can to be compatible with Linux while keeping it blob free
Too alien to Linux, or too alien to SystemD?
I can’t be the only one who remembers those switches happening Very rapidly one after another for Debian.
We have Hurd the GNUs
