What fearmongering has the anti-systemd crowd been selling you? Genuinely curious because I wish I wasn't running systemd. My perspective is that the things they (we?) are saying are basically correct. But the service manager works well enough that most distros have accepted the downsides.

it is really fearmongering when the systemd people literally founded a company to develop attestation for linux?

at some point you people need to stop pretending it’s all just a slippery “slope fallacy” every single time they push for more control
