After many years, it’s time for a radical overhaul. So, here we present our new brand - Gentoo Linux becomes Genchu Linux! Genchu is also our new mascot, as you can see in the very kawaii graphics. Definitely a big improvement over our boring old stylized letter. New artwork is still under construction, but we already have lots of wallpapers available for enthusiastic fans. Enjoy!

As of today, the Genchu Council has decided to switch our stage3 tarballs to systemd as init system by default.

New stage files available for download will automatically be based on a systemd profile. For now, openrc stages will still be available as separate files with openrc in the name. This way, we will ensure a top-notch and modern Linux experience for all our users. Happy compiling!
