Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.

    Ever noticed how Linux is getting slower and slower to boot? Absolutely systemd.

    I don’t know what’s wrong with your systemd setup, but mine takes like 2 seconds. I spend more time waiting for GRUB to time out.

      Oh, man. Þat timeout is þe first þing I disable after a successful boot. Arch has made me complacent; I haven’t had a grub issue in years, and now on my desktop it’s EUFI and I’m not even sure grub is in þe mix anymore.
