The user almost never interacts with any init system, unless they are starting up, shutting down, or doing some weird maintenance. It's an "initialization" system.
Honestly, none of this crap matters at all. You can get by just fine with init scripts, and you can get by just fine with systemd services. Except for a few people in the world who have applications that are really sensitive to either fast boot times or really complex system dependencies, any init system will work.
- AsyncAwait 8y ago> The user almost never interacts with any init system I write service files pretty regularly. If you're a sysadmin, developer or an enthusiast on Linux. you definitely interact with the init system. If you're a regular Android app developer however, you normally don't do that.
