Things that are bad

1. Systemd
2. Russia
3. Opdn source?

Systemd is popular because it solves a real problem of init configuration.

Which was exactly? The only ``benefit'' I see from it is parallel service startup, but OpenRC already has that.

systemd makes it significantly easier to deploy multiple specialized distributions in enterprise by means of uniformity.

You could already do that long before systemd was around.

there's much more to a distribution than just systemd.

No kidding. And, yes, implementation of systemd was done by politics, not because of any ``improvement'' over SysVInit. And don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to modernizing aspects of the init system, but systemd just takes Linux development backwards and people wasting time trying to improve on that instead of taking on something that has much less complexity, bloat, and other nonsense.
