What are some significant differences to expect when switching to an alternative, and can that affect gaming compatibility and performance?

    That’s kind of the best case scenario though: there isn’t even a significant benefit

    And by hoops i only mean what you just described: small differences with the mainstream distros that might cause friction for someone inexperienced. It’s not the end of the world. I was being a bit hyperbolic

    I think there are plenty of pragmatic reasons an experienced sysadmin or Linux power user might prefer OpenRC or something sysVinit compatible over systemd, but i think those reasons make a lot less sense to someone who is, respectfully, obviously a beginner (revealed by their use of the phrase “gaming compatibility”)
