From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Systemd is incredibly versatile and most people, including myself, are unaware of its full potential. Despite its usefulness, it is often overlooked due to controversy and the current state of things when it comes to software development. Begin today your journey thought Systemd’s capabilities and discover how to efficiently manage systems with fewer processes than traditionally required.

I really enjoy using systemd and wasn't an aware linux user before it started getting adopted, but you message really reads like a bad commercial 😅 "begin today your journey through..."

Interestingly, someone who hates systemd would have written exactly the same blog with exactly the same reasons. "Systemd is incredibly versatile and most people, including myself, are unaware of its full potential" could very well be verbatim the slogan of the anti-systemd faction.

Ahaha welcome to the power of systemd.
