systemd desperately needs competition. it isnt just that it became a dependency for every low level service and a potential vector for privacy invasion, it's also janky to use.

I do agree it needs competition. The more the better. The dependency thing is bad but it's free software. It will always be possible to route around that if it ever turns into a problem. Especially now that we have LLMs.

I don't think it's janky though. It's pretty great. It has an answer to everything I've ever needed from it.
