Not only and some softwares needs services. For the not only parts, I
want to be able to [un]plug easily a USB key/drive, a mouse, a printer, the
WiFi, well anything I didn't plugged before starting my computer. And
for the softwares, when they run in docker, the service need to be
started. A lot of things like the logs are very well managed thanks to a
service.

I'm not that sure about that. And if you manage to start it
automatically at the boot time, you won't be able to see when, a service
crashes and need a restart.

For example I remember when a few weeks/months ago you had issues with
your ntpd service. You are the only one I know who were able to break
it. That tells a lot.

So you are publicly telling everyone here the Linux kernel cannot be
described as good. I won't say that I'm surprised because it's not the
first time you don't understand your claims.

Yes, I know, it manages to display a useless black screen. You can be
proud of it.

> It is customized for my needs only.

Yes, your needs are only to be able to fail compiling your kernel.

> GNU/Linux makes this possible for me and for everyone else,

Yes, everyone else can have more expectation from his or her computer
than you. I have nothing against your limited needs/capabilities. The
issue with you is you consider others needs as invalids.

> but systemd threatens to destroy the possibility for everyone.

Nope. You just don't know how systemd works.
