i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.
instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don't need the extra login step into my user session.
i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.
i don't have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.
senpai
