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.

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

I agree those CVE responses are not great. Those are from quite a few years ago though. Has their handling of CVEs improved since?

Boot times are not that big of a deal to me either, but some people seem to care about it a lot.

I've never personally had any problems with binary logs. You could always forward to a different logging daemon if that's a concern.

I’ve never personally had any problems with binary logs.

I had it and I am sure that I could have solved the problem faster if I could have solved it faster if I did not needed to first understand how to access the logs on a damaged system.

You could always forward to a different logging daemon if that’s a concern.

This does not solve the problem, it only move it to somewhere else.
