You are correct. Systemd is not necessarily easy, but that because it is surfacing the power of linux and many of the concepts take some learning. Or you probably already know the concepts but do not yet know how or where systemd brings them out. It’s worth reading as much as you can stomach of the systemd documentation. Even if you’re just skimming over it, you’ll pick up useful things for the future. Like socket activation, file change activation, timers, nspawn and lots of other good stuff. You might even come to like it. Or at least forgive its sins.
