   You can easily manage systemd from the command line. :-)   
      
   If you've been able to adjust to moving from the PDP-11 and the VAX to a   
   PC with Linux, you should be able to make the small adjustment to   
   systemd.   
      
   I've been using systemd professionally for a number of years and use it   
   at home with Linux Mint on my desktop and my wife's laptop, as well as   
   with Raspberry Pi OS on a few RPis. It's been working fine and it's   
   better in a number of ways than SysV init or BSD's rc init is.   
      
   I got used to SMF on Solaris too, back when I was a Solaris admin. I got   
   used to upstart on Ubuntu and the past few years I've been using a Mac   
   and am used to launchd.   
      
   I expect to keep learning new things about computers until they bury me,   
   keyboard clasped to my chest. :-)
