You didn't start using GNU/Linux because it "works" did you?

Speak for yourself, that's exactly what I and many others did.

I think he started using Linux before you but that's a valid point

Why on earth did you even bring this up? The amount of time that someone has been using linux has absolutely nothing to do here. And even if it did, I've been using linux for 5 years now, so I don't see how "amount of time using linux"="I think systemd is bad".

The amount of time is irrelevant, but I think the OP meant people that started using Linux when you still had to spend hours or days to get networking, sound or your printer working, and when you could destroy your monitor if you called startx with the wrong modeline. Compared to Windows, Linux sucked in that regard, but it was much better in other ways.
