You are just another totally ignorant GNU/Linux user and it is people like you that have allowed systemd to infiltrate as far as it has. Myself, for my minimalist standalone workstation, I run without systemd and, moreover, I run always as ROOT. This latter fact alone will be enough to send all the GNU/Linux ignoramuses into "panty twist" mode, but for those TRUE GNU/LINUX EXPERTS this is nothing whatsoever unusual. The truth about systemd is that, for standalone workstations, systemd is both totally unnecessary and a total encumbrance. Systemd persists only, and emphatically ONLY, because the majority of GNU/Linux users are helpless lackeys to their chosen distro. Please. Don't bother responding. I am well aware and sick of all your acquiescent and ignoramus responses.
