> At the risk of igniting something, the only serious recommendation I hear about systemd is improved boot times. My computers are rebooted only for kernel updates - this is the entire point of running Linux. I want uptime. I can stand a boot time of a minute or so if it's once a month or less. If I have to reboot regularly enough that boot times become a serious advantage, someone has done something very wrong with Linux. That's far from the only advantage systemd has. Even then, boot times are extremely important for modern VM and container infrastructures.
