What is arcane about systemctl stop and journalctl --since?

How do I list what's running? I have to Google that every time. How do I list units? What are units? What the fuck are... and so on. The output is hard to read. The files are all over. The directory and file names are counterintuitive. It’s just… needlessly arcane.

Git has the same problem but at least git is excellent enough software in other ways that it makes up for the horrible UX. Systemd is mediocre.

systemd-cgls

systemctl list-units

Simply use tab completion (like in zsh). And do not dare to compare UX-nightmare from git with systemd...
