    If any of the people you introduce to linux would care about systemd

      Or have any clue what systemd does out of the gate, especially on a more user-friendly distro having never used linux

        That’s a bad point. What that logic introducing someone to windows is not bad because they don’t know about it’s data mining components anyway.

        I’m not saying systemd does that. I’m saying that you basically said: “they wouldn’t know even if that was true, so it’s fine!”

          Huh? All I was saying was that someone who’s brand new to Linux is going to be up to their eyeballs in their new system to barely comprehend the very concept of an init system, especially on the more polished, user friendly distro that do a good job of keeping those mechanisms under the hood.

            The way I understood was that it’s not a problem if the system does something bad because the newcomer I directed there won’t know anyway.

            Sorry if that is not what you meant, but the comment has read like that.
