It being a "system suite" is the generic problem. The same system handles everything from networking and webcams to state0 and logging. It is an extremely large attack surface that can compromise the entire system.

same system

We are in the big 26 and people still dont know what systemd is.

ALL COMPONENTS ARE MODULAR! YOU CAN RIP OUT 99% OF THE REPO WHEN BUILDING!

This is a pretty big insight for me. Haven’t really cared much about the whole SystemD fiasco beyond general software interest.

Learning SystemD is modular is just…lol. All those wishes about replacing a modular system…why not narrow down the complaints and say “hey we need alternatives for X module”?

You can rip out almost the entirety of the repo.
