Like it or not, systemd
is here to stay, so we might as well know what to do with it.
systemd
is controversial for several reasons: It’s a replacement for something that a lot of Linux users don’t think needs to be replaced, and the antics of the systemd
developers have not won hearts and minds. But rather the opposite, as evidenced in this famous LKML thread where Linus Torvalds banned systemd
dev Kay Sievers from the Linux kernel.
