Systemd is fine but I am kinda sad that it's ubiquity has resulted in increasing dependence on it.

I really like void linux which uses runit and it seems like its getting harder for things to work without systemd. Gnome made some changes fairly recently that increase dependence, I hope devs can build ways for gnome to still work :/

My only real criticism is that using runit makes me feel like systemd could be a lot smaller and more elegant. But using systemd has never caused me any problems as best I'm aware 🤷‍♂️
