Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.
True, but many don’t know other init systems might work for them because of the same wrong assumption I had.
Definitely. One big ecosystem with a multitude of developers working on a multitude of projects.
