Ditto, much success with systemd here.

The 'overreach' people complain about exists for a good reason. Services need mounts/networks/etc to actually do their job reliably.

If people could discard the 'nyeh' sentiment, use recent releases, and actually engage with the system, they can only find more reliability.

It's about clearly laying out dependencies. Not a lot more.

The only bad experience I've had with systemd is on Ubuntu 18; where I've been forced to live at work.

It's not uncommon for systemctl daemon-reexec to be needed, to resuscitate it. It's woefully far behind.

18.04 is EOL! unless they're paying for that extended support, it's time to upgrade

I should've probably mentioned this, but we've got that covered! ESM until we can finish our move to the New Home

I appreciate the mention though, never know how long people intend to keep things running.
