yea, this is scary stuff, i always wanted to convert my system to openrc, but i never got around to it

I'm seeing OpenRC mentioned as a systemd alternative here. Does anyone have experience with using OpenRC on a regular basis? I'm interested in replacing systemd if OpenRC is easy to configure.

I've never considered the possibility a dependency for a main OS could be a backdoor. Certainly would be a good way to backdoor linux

yep. even the kernel has unknown binary code from third party vendors. throw in the intel management engine backdoor and 95%+ of systems could be compromisable.
