Since I started actually doing system administration and actually interacting directly with SystemD all of the hate for it I'd soaked up from enthusiast forums melted away. I've never used any of the other init systems so maybe I'm missing out, but I do appreciate SystemD for what it does

Linux wouldn't work without furries

Every online space is filled with furries, especially the most furry-hostile spaces!

We're all shipping the penguin and the wildebeest.

It’s just not the same

I don't mind all the ads, they're always for things I was just thinking I needed to buy anyway.

So people hate on systemd because they interpret it as an init system thats gone too far and has thus violated the unix principle. in reality systemd is an entire suite of tools based around a very feature rich and robust service management suite that also includes an init system. there is something to be said about the Linux ecosystem's reliance on systemd, but there are no comparable tools. this is why Arch uses systemd. if you dont want to use systemd, you can use distros like Arco Linux; however currently Gnome no longer works on Arco

From what I heard, people hate systemd because Linus Torvald was approached by the NSA to create a backdoor on Linux, he said it wouldn't be possible to change the kernel because there were too many eyes on it, there was a mysterious hack of kernel.org introduced a mysterious code but it was spotted and removed... well, what was the only other thing common to all Linux? The sysv-init, but it was too small, too tight, too specific for them to create a backdoor there, they needed something big, bloated, doing way more than it should do, like it was just supposed to start the system but it can also do unrelated stuff like handling DNS, and an American company shows up bringing systemd, that solved all the problems the NSA had to create a backdoor on Linux, and all distros jumped into the honeypot :)

I'm more frustrated with GNOME devs sabotaging Wayland.

Generally I see a few:

• People wanting the highly deterministic, but slower behavior of the rc scripts.
• People liking the fact that the rc startup was generally almost entirely defined in plain script files
• Some folks criticizing certain opinionated things in systemd, as systemd delves deeper into things like capabilities and users.
• Systemd can sometimes be a bit weird about how it does/does not capture stdout/stderr as one might guess in some situations.
• Some folks not liking the journald angle of binary-only files

Mainly the last point is the only one I personally find potentially aggravating, but since I never really am in a broken system without journalctl I'm not too bothered by it. I have saved myself some effort thanks to systemd including stuff that the daemons used to provide for themselves.

There's already systemd in the title
