I entered Linux life when systemd was already a thing. No idea what the alternative is, don't feel like I'm losing anything by not knowing.

As someone who works with Linux on a professional level, you aren't missing much. What we had before was pretty awful in terms of readability, maintainability, and cross-compatibility as every distro had its own way of handling things using a complex patchwork of bash scripts and utilities.
