If you're only a desktop user, where do you interact with systemd at all? I am, and I certainly don't.

  Precisely. No desktop user ever interacts with the init system. On the other hand, Linux has a history of _forcing_ desktop users to mess with device management for the simplest of tasks, e.g. making their audio devices work.

    > No desktop user ever interacts with the init system. So you've never restarted a service on your desktop system?

      On both Windows & macOS, I've created & managed services, and never had to restart them after they were deployed. I don't use a Linux desktop (I often retry) because that is unattainable.

        You've never changed the configuration of a service?
