i was fine with systemd for a few years, even truly enjoying getting rid of hacky docker workflows in place of machined.

then i start to find out it is full of rando backdoors intended for VMs, which will run just the same on your bare metal. For example, just to list the very last one, you can inject smbios data that will be parsed to create files in your system. very convenient to drop passwords and keyfiles around a vm... unless it is the firmware on your actual bios doing the same. And we know how common persistence via bios is. sigh.

but as you mention correctly, it have crushed and dominated linux. so i guess i just waste a week or some working around those things later, as usual.
