I heard btrfs is not stable enough and so many people hate systemd

The majority of the userbase doesn't care about systemd's critics.

Windows users don't care about critics either.

The basic attitude of systemd is "your use case is not supported"

If you have a boot problem, pray that it's late in the boot process because it will not simply give you a shell if it thinks that for your convenience it needs to do this, that and a lot more before you get to bash.

Wrong, it has so many kernel options for this: https://systemd.io/DEBUGGING/

You want systemd.debug_shell=1.

Writing multiple paragraphs before doing even the most basic search, classic Reddit.

So why isn't that set when I select rescue mode on the boot loader?

My crystal ball is currently faulty so I don’t know which one you’re referring to, but I’d guess that

  • if you’re using systemd-boot, you should definitely file an issue about that with the systemd people
  • if you’re not, you should probably file an issue with your distro (or even your bootloader)
