What exactly does systemd do?

I am a Linux user, but I don't really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?

  • As some other commenters said, I've also been trying VanillaOS, which I do recommend you try out, but if you really like tinkering and messing with your system I recommend Debian, although if you like a rolling-like experience maybe try Debian Testing. And for a Debian alternative I would try OpenSUSE.

  • what counts as a distro
  • My understanding is that is has to have a certain level of the GNU core utilities in combination with the Kernel but yeah not really, it's hard to define, maybe the use of a package manager? Definitely nothing to do with GUI, probably a philosophy in mind, not sure at all to be honest.

  • what would you do if you have a time machine
  • I have to counter this by saying, I don't think one got would kill an entire continent, specially cuz I am immunized myself to modern diseases, if anything I'd probably help the locals get immunized with technology.

  • Looking for a distro to hop to

    Wanted to know if there's such a thing as Debian based distro but make it Rolling release, is that something already in existence or will I have to just tinker a lot within Debian?

  • I'd first take my time and study how it works and how time itself works, then I'd study a bunch of history, and a bunch of science, once I'm done I'd go back in time to 1,000 BCE Yukatan Peninsula and chill in the beach, meet some locals, have a good time.
