PSA: When people ask you "What distro should I use?", try pointing them here

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How about something like:
What is a systemd and why do I need to hate it? /s
Unironically, you can hate it in one of the answers. I'm not even sure how why it is there.
@Franzia @SpacePirate Don't hate it, learn it!
