    Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It’s quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.

        Too much

        But that has been a complaint for 10 years and it’s only gotten worse

        I wouldn’t mind systemd if it weren’t for the fact that it was to be a startup system that promised to make everything easier and faster to startup yet managing systemd is a drag at best, and of it did one thing it’s making my systems boot up like mud

          I feel like the glued together collection of scripts was way worse to manage than systemd.

      I thought the same, but didn’t we already have things like chron syntax for this? Systemd didn’t have to build its own library.

          Aight, didn’t know that. I cannot yet imagine any scheduled task that would require anything more advanced than cron (or a similar standalone syntax), but I’ll just trust you with that one.
