       @theo that's a very broad question and a lot of people have a lot of different opinions on this, ranging from complacency and not wanting to learn anything new to well-reasoned critiques of the impact that systemd's introduction had on various distros and their maintainership.here's a personal gripe with systemd i've been having lately: i built my home router on a debian system, and i recently upgrade from bullseye to bookworm. i also used systemd-networkd for network config on that device. big mistake. there was like four or five breaking changes in the network config that weren't documented in the changelog, two of which broke ipv6 connectivity directly after the upgrade and one that broke something subtly which i only noticed much later and had to read source code in order to verify that it was in fact systemd screwing me over. systemd-networkd at the very least has a documentation problem.as soon as i have some spare focus to point at something, i'm gonna rip networkd out of that router and rebuild it with plain debian network config scripts. at least those don't tend to just break due to undocumented interface changes between major releases.
