I can't say that's been my experience, are you by chance using a rolling release distribution?

I am running quite some stuff for multiple customers on systemd on arch. And I must say that generally the ride has been smooth and pleasant, and we have been doing that for years.

I for one is not looking back at the sysv script spaghetti with fondness...

You mean the only distros with reasonably aggressive security patch intervals?

Which LTS distros were you looking at that did not receive security backports?

Yes, but how late, comparatively speaking?

No, the ones with such a habit of breaking things that xorg.conf being messed up became a joke

Fair play.

Although, during that era, the same issues were hella common on Ubuntu systems etc as well.
