For the GP: This is not a talk which explains why systemd is bad, it's a talk which argues which systemd is good and misunderstood. Which I don't agree with, plus isn't what you asked.

Indeed, as the LWN reported stated: "His attempt to cast that story for the pleasure of his audience resulted in a sympathetic and nuanced look at a turbulent chapter in the history of the Linux system."

I believe "nuance" is the key word here.
