    But systemd is not a single tool, nor a single binary, it’s a collection of tools.

        That is a bit like asking “name one thing that coreutils does well” or “name one thing GNU does well”.

          The joke being “systemd does everything poorly”. First heard someone say this about X and Wayland. People were saying Wayland violated Unix philosophy and the speaker said “name one thing X does well” lol.

            Systemd might not be perfect but it certainly does every single thing init scripts did better than any init script.
