@nixCraft There’s little wrong with openRC, I don’t get the hate. Every system I have and there’s about 30 of them, run openrc. Except one. These are hypervisors, firewall/routers, vms and servers. I put systemd on the desktop variant only because.. and there’s really no reason for it other than curiosity. My laptop runs openrc and it’s problem free.

@siim @nixCraft #lazyweb question: does OpenRC use declared dependencies between services, so things automatically start in the right order?

@oclsc @nixCraft .. so I had to basically start its services manually with a delay of a second or two added in.

@oclsc @nixCraft and by manually I mean had to create a startup script in local.d with a sleep timer that basically runs rc-service <name> start after the sleep and all is good. Didn’t find a nicer eay to add a sleep to the service itself and it works so why bother changing something that works. .. yes this does mean that the linear startup gets delayed by a second or 2 before you get the login terminal on the console but does one really care?

@siim @nixCraft I ran into a problem like that on a systemd system; not with PCI probing but with link coming up on a network interface. I added a service that polled for that to happen before declaring successful start, and made some appropriate thing depend on it.
