You don't have to fit anything in your head. I often find myself consulting the index at `man systemd.directives` to remember things: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.dir...

In lot of cases I've found systemd units much to actually be simpler and easier to maintain due to everything being in a simple declarative format. The old alternative is to have a lot of shell scripts that can get very complex, and to consult another few hundred man pages for various shell utilities...

True. However, my objective is to internalise the tooling that routinely use, the scope of systemd is beyond what I need. Also, I find constantly looking up unique directives fatiguing and would rather use that energy elsewhere. I find working with the same general tooling results in faster & easier mental recall across a broader range problems that I tackle. Just my experience, no doubt different for others.
