When I just see my TV taking Linux updates it makes me feel so cozy. For context sake I have a veroV running osmc.

The unix philosophy is that a piece of software should do one thing, and do it well. Systemd does a dozen things, all of them poorly. It's an especially poor choice for an embedded or appliance system.

    Systemd is not a singular thing, it's a collection of a lot of things.

    Linux is a kernel. The kernel modules, services, userland, etc. are all modular and can be used independently. Not so with systemd (at least how it's implemented in most distros).
