update-alternatives ?

Install gentoo, seriously

Portage does this

You can also do this if you compile shit yourself

>>55471514
Just lets you use a similar program as the default service using a defaults system you probably don't even use

Nice meme, but you can.

1) gentoo/funtoo (use gentoo nowadays tho, there is no reason for funtoo now that gentoo has optional git portage tree) can do this
2) any distro can do this via chroot/container
>>
>>55471495
Yes you can, you might be too dumb to know how though.

/g/ - /g/raphic cards. Also, ubongo/d00bian have update-alternatives, which is not as powerful as the above mentioned gentoo tools, but pretty close to them.
