Just due to my misconfigurations against some partitions with systems, parts of systemd systems like Trisquel is dead but never OpenRC ones like Hyperbola, Debian testing is alive and I'm using it to write this thread which I have ideas to dist-upgrade the system and all well done, but not yet working for Trisquel.
Will Trisquel port some free software packages not found in Ubuntu, like OpenRC from Devuan, our another libre system erasing systemd and focusing on init freedom?

I'm just gonna shoot a question here:

What's up with systemd and why do people freak out about it?

@GrevenGull: please read previous threads on the subject in this forum. Let us not start yet another. The most recent lengthy discussion starts here: https://trisquel.info/forum/fsf-adds-pureos-list-endorsed-gnulinux-distributions?page=1#comment-125187

@gd_scania: it is not the OpenRC package itself that would give much work. It is maintaining tens (hundreds?) of init scripts for it.

So I'm not standing for that OpenRC is a single package, instead in fact OpenRC is a group of packages and being an eco-system of init scrpits. This eco-system is popular under the no-systemd or init freedom communities.

All packages for "services" (typically daemons and servers that start at init) would have to include an init script for OpenRC. And those scripts depend on each other.

Honestly I am using A TORRENT of operating systems which a number of them are based on the OpenRC init system, esp Parabola, TrueOS, Hyperbola, Devuan, nonfree Calculate. I thus dnt worry running OpenRC and systemd at parallel, though being an init freedom member here.
