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 fine. Stop getting trolled by antiquated neckbeards.
Unless you find a specific problem with something, don't go looking for reasons to fix that which is not broken.
Systemd is fine, but we should be aiming for better than fine.
That being said., there's definitely something to be said for sticking with "fine" until something else proves itself to be at least adequate with potential to be better than merely fine.
Systemd is the worst init system except for all of the others.
No, it's not fine. But I agree with the last sentence.
