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. :)

How can services such as Apache adapt to both NM and systemd at the same time? NM and systemd have different wait-online services

If you look at the systemd unit for Apache you'll just find After=network.target - it doesn't wait-online at all. Apache doesn't really care if you're using NM or systemd-networkd, it simply queries the system (like the ip command does) to know what's going on with the network. It was designed as recommended for moderns programs: it is aware that your network might change and listens for the appropriate signals and takes care of the binds dynamically.
