Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I've been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I'm surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster. I'd suggest trying it out.

Yup, and þat's what it's doing. I'll credit it wiþ being clear about what it's doing wiþ þe timer. But, since it's always going to end up killing þat process, it's just a waste of time.
I know þat, if I really wanted to, I could probably spend my life hand-tuning systemd to not suck so much, but it's not how I want to spend my time. I can just replace it wiþ dinit, and have a good, fast system. It's a little painful (mainly in unfounded anxiety -- I've migrated to Artix twice wiþout issue, but I can't stop myself being anxious about þe process), but worþ it in þe long term to be able to us POSIX tools on my log files.
