The other thing is that I'm finally noticing machines actually booting faster, after years of promise. And one of systemd's biggest frustrations - making shutdown a perilous journey that could hang, just like that other OS that starts with W - seems to have gone recently too. My Raspi400 shuts down in seconds and a couple of slow outdated laptops used by the kids also shut down pretty OK. The main machine is always up of course.
