I mean the best part about open source and Linux is that you have choice. Do you want to run an OS devoid of SystemD? Fine. Will you be going against the tide and leaving a large part of the ecosystem behind? Yup.

I’ve chosen to embrace systemd and learn it as it is the defacto standard it seems rather than fight what I think is a futile war against it. That being said. I won’t force you to use it if you don’t. But I do not see quadlets using systemd as a failing.

systemd is extremely intrusive. anything dependent on it is a failure.
This is such a bizarre comment. I run systemd a number of Linux machines currently but does that mean they are failing? Is taking advantage of systemd's features a failure? They run and do their function so in what sense are they failing or what does failure mean?
By my calculations, considering much of the world runs on RH/Ubuntu/Debian, all of which use systemd, things depending on systemd are far from being a failure, cos they'll run on the majority of systems.
systemd is a festival of power centralization and bad design. quite opposite of what linux should be.
