Systemd isn't that bad.  It's much better than Lennart's pulseaudio, now THAT
sucks.

I moved to Systed with Fedora in 2013 or so, and really, the only four notable
differences was the system booted a little faster, shut down a lot faster,  the
commands to start a service were slightly different, and the message log was
accessed through journalctl.

It may nor may not be your thing.  I'm usually sensetive to changes away from
traditional tried and true software (ie, Gnome 3, pulseaudio, snap/flatpak),
but systemd was not that a big deal.
