The best example of suck, and that forced you to restart Linux machines after an update, something that was not the case before... you little ducklings...
The systemd init isn't half an operating system any more than the coreutils "ls" utility is half a userspace. The systemd project has many different components but they're independent, they are not all literally part of the init system.
You're the one who brought up init systems. Like you said, systemd is a huge project; an init system is just one of its components.
> he systemd project has many different components but they're independent
They _are_ dependent. It's one codebas, and even if you somehow separated it - you would still only have systemd-specific, systemd-dependent replacements for _actual_ independent components.
They all depend on systemd and won't work with anything else, nor on any other operating system either.
I think the systemd people state that it is more than an init system, maybe your expectation of it needs to be adjusted. "systemd is a software suite for system and service management on Linux built to unify service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions." One of the great things about Linux is that you can always choose a distro that fits your ideals (or whatever else).
That's most of the entire planet using Linux.
And social media and fast food...does not mean its good for you...
I’m out of the loop on this, not trying to ignite a holy war, but what’s the gist of the anti-systemd stance?

Just use another distro without systemd, no one cares.
People who dont care use Windows.

It's probably being downvoted and flagged because it's off topic to the post and adds no substance which is against site rules.
Its not off topic, as reply to the comment, the post is replying.
