OpenRC After Systemd

After finally trying OpenRC for the first time, I finally get the hate. systemd blinded me for so long that I didn't even realize how many things that I took for granted were actually the doings of systemd. It's so liberating not having a quasi-black box on your system.

A screenshot of a systemd discussion post praising OpenRC after trying it for the first time. The joke is that systemd is portrayed as a restrictive, opaque black box, while OpenRC feels liberating to the poster. It is used as a reaction by Linux users debating init systems and systemd criticism.
