I thought all systemd haters would have died by now due to old age. At this rare chance, I have a question: How did it feel to live together with actual dinosaurs?

Why do people hate systemd anyway? I'm not that tech-savvy but I've always used it and I don't recall ever having a problem with it

I think it's largely a combination of curmudgeons that hate change and people who are strict Unix ideologues. systemd, while being objectively better in many ways is a monolith that does more than one thing. This violates some of the Unix program philosophies (small programs that do one thing). The truth is that the script-based inits were terrible for dependency management, which is something that systemd explicitly addresses and is probably one of its greatest strengths, IMO.

EDIT: Corrected capitalization.

On a side note, it's systemd, no damn uppercase D at the end.

Good point. Fixed.
