So he doesn't like Linux just because of systemd? In my opinion, that's pretty ignorant. If you look beyond all the drama of systemd vs no-systemd, systemd is actually very useful, powerful and conceptually simple service manager. Yes, it's a "monolith" and "not Unix-y", but from a user perspective it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's simple to use and reliable. Having been accustomed to systems with systemd, I often struggle to manage Linux systems without it as efficiently. And I don't even have a deep knowledge of systemd, just the basics of service management commands and the structure of unit files.
