From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's what I always loved about Gentoo. Users are interested to have a system with systemd: Gentoo supports it and got you covered. Users are interested to have a system with OpenRC: Gentoo supports it and got you covered. There's even a couple of people who want to use
runitors6(and maybe others I've missed) and they're there in the official repos, but depending on your needs you'll have to do some work on top of that. Similar story with device managers, tempfile managers etc.
