I have seen so many times that systemd is insecure, bloated, etc. So i wonder ¿does it worth to switch to another init system?

Here's a handy chart for you

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Comparison_of_init_systems

As you can see many have the ability to start services in parallel. Some script magic with graphviz will also do similar to analyse blame.

What's wrong? Too many tools, way too fragmented and poorly integrated. It is very, very easy to get into trouble if you simply setup a dual stack system with IPv6-PD with those tools. With systemd it all works of the box with simples configuration files and its way more intuitive. For eg. cron is a mess, systemd timers share the unit config format which is way better and more scalable.

Do you honestly beloved thie mental gymnastics your getting into just to prove your point, go back to windows. Lol

Well done on using systemd how you wish, now move on and let others use it how they wish or remove it.

It's not gymnastics, it's years and years of init bullshit and fragmentation / lack of integration related issues that were solved by systemd.

Keep telling yourself that, meanwhile we'll all see your obvious dislike of of general userland tools.

I don’t dislike them, I never disliked them… I simply came to like systemd’s efficiency more.

Yup, windows is calling you.

Bye

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.
