# Systemd
|
|
|
|
Systemd is a pretty bad, [bloated](bloat.md), [anti-Unix](unix_philosophy.md), [free-licensed](free_software.md) "software suite" used for initialization of an [operating system](os.md) and handling services like loggging in or managing network connections. It is a so called [PID 1](pid1.md) process. Systemd has been highly criticised by the proponents of [suckless](suckless.md) and [LRS](lrs.md) and even normies for its bloat, anti-Unix-philosophy design, [feature creep](feature_creep.md), security vulnerabilities and other stuff. Unfortunately it is being adopted by many [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md) distributions including [Arch Linux](arch.md) and [Debian](debian.md).

For more detailed bashing of systemd see e.g. https://nosystemd.org/. It nicely sums up systemd with a quote: *"If this is the solution, I want my problem back*". |
