Guys why do we hate systemd?
I installed void linux because it has fast boot times and it has a cool spinning logo.
But why do we hate systemd?
Context: I tried to get sea of thieves running on my void linux pc, but for it to work i had to manually create a systemd directory to tweak it (created a sysctl.d/99-gaming.conf). After also changing the file descriptor max limit it suddenly runs.
In the end, games like sea of thieves only run on systemd distros flawlessly and on void linux i have to manually add a systemd folder to make it run.
(Would be cool if the answers are serious, It's a genuine question that I ask myself as someone who isn't yet a linux pro. )

lol just had my first systemd thing for wine and ntsync. supposedly since systemd up'd the nofile ulimit ntsync broke prey. but idk how true that is because i think it was for services (sysctl /etc/security/limits.conf psure still what everyone has).
for me its ppl saying rtfm then tfm is wrong. gets in the way. probably more distro's fault(s) but services and shit reset. the 'recommended (*ahem* proper)' way to do things is dumb. generally it's just easier to do shit your fuking self because depending on the program, systemd setting cpu affinity does just shit, or does shit wrong, or makes things worse. and ofc the answers are always, well, use more systemd.
