bootload, manage devices, manage the network interface, manage accounts, log in, provide a host for temp files, schedule stuff, log events

All of this is background stuff to me so I don’t care

(n.b.: systemd also suffers from a linux kernel vs linux situation. systemd has a component named systemd that only does services stuff)

You forgot manage containers, manage system timers, manage network interfaces (in some cases)…

DNS resolution, clock synchronization, there’s something about keyboard configuration but it stopped to make me problems for no reason so I don’t know what exactly…

Oh, and IPC so that Gnome can not be done until other inits won’t run!

But there are a lot of other modules.

I said “manage the network interface” and “schedule stuff”

manage containers

That requires podman or some other program, so that’s like saying shell does container management

No, systemd-nspawn doesn’t need any other container management program, it’s its own thing.

You’re right about the first two, but as someone pointed out already, wrong about the last.

Also see machinectl
