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.

I have seen so many times that systemd is insecure, bloated, etc. So i wonder ¿does it worth to switch to another init system?

At this point I am not that interested in these aspects, for what I need I am ok if the system boot and I can work 😀

But thanks anyway, it is a good thing to know if I ever need it.

If that’s the case you can simply run systemd configured as it comes with most distritos and enjoy.
