  • Personally my only gripe with systemd is that the systemctl and journalctl commands are cryptic and unintuitive. Every time I have to use one (which thankfully isn’t often), I have to spend 5 minutes reading man pages to remind myself whether -u is “user” or “unit”, what the difference is between a “unit” and a “service”, etc.

    I imagine this is what non-developers feel like when they’re forced to use git—having a whole pile of unfamiliar vocabulary and syntax thrown in your face when you’re just trying to do one simple thing.
