After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren't aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual "jankiness" we're used to.

In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.

And yes, Systemd does containers. :)

I never used Linux before systemd, so I never understood the drama. I use it a ton. Mostly to run my rootless containers via podman. I have a template service file for this, and I just change a few things, systemctl link, enable, and start. And voila. My container is running as a service that I can start and stop like any other service.
