I agree but I wouldn't call systemd a init system. It's a service manager for your Linux OS which manage all services down to initial startup related services.

Just viewing it as a init system is misleading.
As a side note I think a service manager directly above the kernel is a must have for any modern server or desktop operating system ;=)
- viraptor 6y ago> I agree but I wouldn't call systemd a init system. Systemd is the name of the init system. Systemd is also the name of the project developing multiple systemd-* services. Maybe they could help the situation a bit by renaming the service itself systemd-init, but we've had enough time for people to learn to deal with a tiny bit of ambiguity...
