it's funny that many people mention boot time as a metric when for most servers, VMs and laptops the devices are either always on or sleeping. startup times do nothing in those cases.
People bring it up because it's usually the first thing they notice. Of course the faster boot times are not what makes systemd great, rather it's what makes those fast boot times possible.

- cstrahan 2y ago(I’m guessing this is supposed to be a joke in a similar vein as “Emacs is a great operating system that desperately needs a text editor”.) You probably are looking for a different word, rather than “indifferent”. Indifference is a property of the observer/subject, not the observed/object. For example, if I don’t care about sports, I might say that I’m indifferent to the outcome of the game my friends are watching. Perhaps “mediocre” is what you’re looking for?
