systemd is great, but being disingenious isn't helping anyone:
chrony -> sd-timesyncd [...] one less daemon
just because it ships with systemd doesn't mean it magically runs without it's own process

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.

Very cool. I had no idea systemd sort of has a cron replacement. While in I don't think I'll switch from cron in the immediate future, it's really good to know.

Pretty sure that's how the Steam Deck runs also. At least every custom OS I've seen for it is just a ContainerFile and systemd-boot
And yes, Systemd does containers. :)
Are systemd duplicates such as containers and systemd-boot are better than the existing ?

ah soft reboot ive been waiting for something like that
All of this shit packed in is why it sucks. Do one thing and do it well. Try setting up a script to run on boot that doesn't stop executing until you want to turn your pc off and watch all traces of sanity drain from your being. Now try it on freebsd. Much much easier

Systemd together with NetworkManager are two pieces of software I really dislike. They go against the very Unix philosophy. I like being able to piece all the bricks together on my own, not having monolithic pieces of software that try to do everything.
You make it sound as if it’s a religion … UNIX isn’t a dogma handed down by an infallible being, just a piece of software that made sense for its time. Todays needs are different than the needs 40 years ago, so ofc things have to change.
Eh, they work for me. To each their own.
