First, it systemd, not SystemD. Stop spreading lies and disinformation. There is nothing proprietary about systemd. It is 100% open source. It is also even more configurable than really any other init system. You can adjust and configure everything. There is far more flexibility due to its modular design. Its fully backward compatible with SysV init. Poettering has contributed far more code to the open source cause than you could even dream of.

And still, it is a piece of shit.
There was never a proper justification for systemd, its proponents presented a couple of tricks it does but never a vision, not even a convincing technical justification for that structural monstrosity.
Systemd was just pushed down everyone's throats and "live with that".
What about documentation? When it comes to systemd, I'm unaware of anything resembling proper documentation.
What I do know is fragmented information from internet forums, but I cannot really say I understand

So this is what infecting the Linux ecosystem with systemD is worth. A lot of control, proprietary services, and a very special place at the table.
For the record: fuck systemD and Pottering.

It's garbage that locks you into a proprietary configuration. Buggy has root exploits every several months. Fails to shutdown properly.
