Is it possible to install systemd without having to use gnome or kde profiles?
Because in my profile list, there are only kde and gnome that have systemd.
Code:
# eselect profile list
  [1]   default/linux/amd64/13.0
  [2]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
  [3]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop *
  [4]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome
  [5]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
  [6]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
  [7]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd
  [8]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer
  [9]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib
  [10]  default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32
  [11]  hardened/linux/amd64
  [12]  hardened/linux/amd64/selinux
  [13]  hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
  [14]  hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux
  [15]  hardened/linux/amd64/x32
  [16]  hardened/linux/musl/amd64
  [17]  default/linux/uclibc/amd64
  [18]  hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64

You can install anything using any profile. There may be things you cannot uninstall using a certain profile.

I'd add that the only profiles that are really important are the selinux and nomultilib ones. You can craft your settings to suit your needs quite easily on any profile with quite a bit of reading. Basically, all a profile is just a collection of use flags. The exception is that profiles also include masks for certain flags that are unsupported and/or unsafe to use carelessly. This is the reason why the two I listed are special. They are built around forcing certain use that are normally masked.

There is no reason you couldn't set up a desktop using default/linux/amd64/13.0 or a headless openRC server using default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd. It is just that doing so would involve changing the flags around. It certainly isn't something you would normally want to do, but you could if you wanted to.

Really IMHO the profile tree is set up wrong. The systemd/non-systemd fork should be fairly near the top, just above the server/desktop fork. The gnome/kde fork is under desktop, and putting systemd below that is just too low. Really systemd lies just above the kernel, and that should probably be reflected in the profile paths. I haven't heard about systemd on arm, but I suspect that systemd/non-systemd should really fork even before the machine architecture.
