That's why I want something that I can install fast. Gentoo certainly isn't the right choice for that. If Kubuntu fails, I can just reinstall and not format /home. It doesn't take to long and I'll be back up and running. I already keep a fairly up to date sysrescue so having something for some other distro wouldn't be a huge issue. Right now, if Gentoo fails to boot because of the init thingy, I have no idea how to fix it. None at all. I know the basics of what it does but no idea how to fix it when it breaks. That's where I am now with regard to my other post. I can't su to root when using the init thingy but can when I don't use the init thingy. I have no clue where to even start to fix it. Is it dracut itself? Is it some script? Is it some option I gave it that conflicts with something else? I have absolutely no idea why but I know it has something to do with me using the init thingy since it works fine without it. Me clueless since this is something I tried to avoid in the past and not sure why it is needed now either. More questions than answers for sure.
