How do you get plain-text logs instead of the garbage binary format that journalctl forces on you?

Set ForwardToSyslog=yes in journald.conf and install a syslog daemon. Also optionally Storage=volatile (I wouldn’t set Storage=none unless you want systemd to no longer show you any logs anywhere including in systemctl status because I assume it will do that)

Definitely reads like a Microsoft answer, seems so much easier than just reading text

By configuring journald to forward messages to syslog as is the default.

“forces on you” 🙄

Edit: Systemd has been around for 14 years. Did you never think to google this?

It’s not the default fwiw. From journald.conf(5):

By default, only forwarding to wall is enabled.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
