What is the benefit of no systemd?

The main benefit is that when people get tired of distro flame wars, they can move on to init system flame wars.

Boasting, mainly.

I have no horse in this race, I don’t have strong feelings about it either way as long as it works. But I can’t help but notice that OP skipped replying to me.

OP said “bloated and full of bugs”.

I’ve been using Arch since shortly before they started using systemd and literally never ran into a systemd bug.

I have no clue at this point what “bloated” means. Maybe if everything works and you don’t have to hack up your own solution all the time, that’s “bloat”?

With the price of energy being what it is, people need the systemd flame wars to keep them warm!

No, I just don’t like systemd. It’s bloated and full of bugs. Just because almost every distro out there uses it, doesn’t mean it’s good.

It’s too popular and it works too well.

Not true, doesn’t work well at all. It’s bloated and full of bugs.

I literally haven’t run into a single one in the whole time Arch has been using it.

(I installed Arch shortly before it switched to systemd and have been using it since without pause)

What are the systemd bugs that are so bad? I kinda get the bloated comment, but I don’t really mind when it serves its purpose
