Is systemd designed in a modular way that makes it easy to use systemd as the init system without importing the kitchen sink?

- parrellel 7y agosystemd is sadly a horrible cancer blob of dependencies. edit: as of a couple of years ago when I last had the time to care. I suppose it's possible something has changed, but I doubt it.
- ac29 7y agoSure - for example, systemd can synchronize your system time with NTP, configure your wireless network, and run periodic tasks if you'd like it to. Or, you can use different tools to do those tasks and everything works just fine.
- freedomben 7y agoSome things are, others aren't. For example systemd-resolved is highly optional. Some distros include it, others don't.
- flukus 7y agoNo, hence this article. Note that the system they're having such a hard time integrating is a fork of a systemd component, which is about as close to the best scenario as you could hope for.
