I read the arguments why systemd is needed and why it was decided to be adopted (these are the same arguments leading to this fact), which brings me to your next point. > Anyway, it was for me more a problem of philosophy; that systemd tried to > do too much, things which went against the rules laid down for Debian > itself from the start. At the end you would agree that systemd is not exactly trying to do too much. It is responding to a need, which is "there is too much to do". A dynamic computer like Desktop or Notebook needs an application such as systemd. If systemd and its design/implementation are the best fit to this need, I do not know. I just can hope the people behind are mature enough to do something useful (although some of the stories I read make me believe some of them are lunatics) Never mind, at the end I had same thinking as you and saw where the journey was going. I live and work in 2021. I work with computers and servers, I earn money with it. It is inevitable to know systemd. The more you know it, the better you understand it. At the end a kind of relationship develops. My server at home with pure old init, feels like archaic today.
