    It uses a completely different paradigm of process chaining and management than POSIX and the underlying Unix architecture.

    That’s not to say it’s bad, just a different design. It’s actually very similar to what Apple did with OS X.

    On the plus side, it’s much easier to understand from a security model perspective, but it breaks some of the underlying assumptions about how scheduling and running processes works on Linux.

    So: more elegant in itself, but an ugly wart on the overall systems architecture design.

      Lol, no. Way more code in Systemd. Also more CVE per year than in some bad (now dead) init/svc’ lifetime.
