Why? I mean I've read talking points for having systemd and for not. What's your take?

TBH it has not really been an issue for me. My biggest real beef is just that I prefer just having regular text files in /var/log instead of using journalctl. And I feel like it's a Microsoft-style monolith that flies in the face of the Unix philosophy that I honor and revere.

If it helps, you can turn that crap off and get log files, I need to do this on the homelab. But at work we setup syslog so that we can get Aws to ingest them, yes I know AWS and all that. Not my choice.
