I like parts of systemd very much: units and their sandboxing/isolation/chroot of processes.

Many other parts are terrible beyond measure: journald for example.

I think the concept of on-demand processes managed by the end manager is a good idea, but systemd is strong arming the services into accepting its philosophy.




What's wrong with journald? I do not know much about it, aside from having to use journalctl to view logs occasionally.


Logs being stored in binary is the main problem, I think.


You can of course copy them into whatever format you want, systemd has support for syslog style export.


Versus the logical dmesg|grep {what you are looking for} or tail -n 30 /var/log/messages.


Tell me you never tried

  journalctl | grep {term}
without telling anything.

Also you are probably never worked with a localised distros. Go try your luck at least on a non-Latin one.


you can just run journalctl -g {term} too lol
