Reminder that one day, for no reason whatsoever, all Linux distros suddenly decided that the systemd init was the best thing ever and switched to it. Thank Red Hat and GNOME Foundation for the takeover.

I just recently started diving into Linux, and I've read a lot of bitching about systemd. Apparently it is extremely entrenched, and a nightmare of over 1 millions lines of borderline spaghetti that few people can modify or fix.

Any suggestions for a relative n00bie? Just spin up some VMs of differing flavors?
