    I started reading that because I want to learn more about systemd and ended up wanting to go back to DOS. Presumably it all makes sense, but when I tried to read it my brain stopped working and my eyes slid off the bottom of the screen.

    I don’t know why but I just found it incomprehensible.

      I have yet to read this, but. But the first part is like the internals of systemd, you won’t immediately need it.

      If you want to make use of systemd, you can skip directly to where it explains unit files. You’ll soon see just how much it can do for you

      #alwaysHasBeen, but for us graybeards the confusion has been “this is a solution with no problem” and “it’s eaten WHAT now?”

        As a proper “gray beard” myself the utility of systemd vs. sys-v init scripts has always been blindingly obvious. 🤷
