After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren’t aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual “jankiness” we’re used to.
In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.
And yes, Systemd does containers. :)
Are systemd duplicates such as containers and systemd-boot are better than the existing ?
It isn’t always about being better. Docker has its use cases more for single binaries, LXD provides a nice interface while
systemd-nspawn
is built in and allows you to setup containers with a a common and known unit file. For instance, I might not want to install LXD/LXC on a low resource system as it will bring snap and waste resources and systemd fixes that.
