I'm using Hyperbola now on OpenRC. The packages are old and a lot of stuff doesn't work like mpv. So i'm done with endstream development until it works again, I'll either build it from source or wait for the package updates.
When I tried to install parabola base-openrc and it kept trying to pull in systemd as a dependency no matter what I did. Weird. I wiped the partitions and then used the parabola openrc disk to migrate to Hyperbola. Hyperbola seems OK, but the packages aren't as fresh, and some things don't work properly. I can't use links2 right now either because of some missing libraries or something. Whatever.
I tried installing Gentoo briefly when parabola failed. I got it to book off of LUKS on LVM, but then the kernel I compiled with make menuconfig, and then with genkernel, but the init sequence kept halting half way down the OpenRC boot sequence. I resynced and then recompiled, # emerge --ask @world and waited for 3 hours for it to finish then tried again, same stuff, non bootable kernel. I gave up after 16 hours of compiling, wiped everything and now I'm on Hyperbola. Gentoo Fail. I hate computers.
