There is stunningly little content in that link. There&#x27;s a lot of broad points absolutely devoid of serious examples of how they are problems under systemd.<p>You can&#x27;t just go &quot;attack surface&quot; and have said anything useful, nor can you point at volume of code if that code is actually needed. All criticisms of systemd usually depend on people completely ignoring the very serious problems you can&#x27;t solve with sysvinit and which do make actual, practical systems less secure (i.e. cgroup process isolation is amazing, and a lack of real service management is a huge problem and any service management is going to be running as root period. Yet there&#x27;s been a real claim that service management is &quot;what your sysadmin does&quot;. Why even bother with computing then?)
