When I just see my TV taking Linux updates it makes me feel so cozy. For context sake I have a veroV running osmc.

    Well, my experience was

    1. why a service misbehaved, can’t get smart from that log dump
    2. configuring DNS, got annoyed that it was yet again something Systemd does itself and in a poor mans way, despite there being tools and standards for tens of years.
    3. Then found out about their security track record and that it all runs as PID 1 (more power than even root)

    All in all, it works very contrary to my experience that layers upon layers leads to unmanageable complexity and inefficinecy and it’s all implemented in a poor way, functionally (some will likely disagree to this).

      Thanks for the response. Right now I do not have enough knowledge to judge for myself if systemd is effectively great or not. Once I have the time I will check closer kernel architecture (theoretical wise), then in how the Linux kernel is effectively organized and only after that understand the theory behind systemd. I’ve seen several threads where 2 very different camps exists, but I was not entirely sure of the information I was getting.

      Cannot say I will get around this, but for sure peeks my curiosity
