OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like computer operating systems. It was created by Roy Marples, a NetBSD developer who was also active in the Gentoo project.[3][4] It became more broadly adopted as an init system outside of Gentoo following the decision by some Linux distributions not to adopt systemd.[5][6][7]
