“a popular init system”? It’s the main init system now. Look at it. Systemd is the captain now.

You’ll have to learn it if you use any mainstream distro. Like at work. It is inevitable.

Yes, that’s what ‘popular’ becomes.

Note that it’s often labeled as ‘popular’ and not ‘good’.

I’m sick of redhat’s internal junk. It’s just to sell courses anyway.

It makes my work so much easier than it could’ve.

Imagine having to tweak sysvinit script at work.

Yes, popular. Many distros use it and, believe it or not, most people don’t care it’s there. It works.

If it was only an init system I’d be ok with it. But it isn’t…

You need to use its init system (systemd), its logging system (systemd-journald, and can be forwarded to old school syslog), and some dbus implementation.

If that’s an unreasonable requirement for your usecase, check out OpenRC

It’s a system daemon that manages way more than an init system, hence the name “systemd”.
