    Orwell, the user, is a supervisord pleb that already understands the limitations of sysinit but their inability to read some man pages results in them writing a long-ass book instead.

      I have written long-ass reports to try explaining shit, only to find myself understanding the manual. I think it’s part of learning.

        I was referencing the lengthy screeds against systemd that appear on the internet - those do not strike me as being productive for learning systemd - they appear to me to be justifications against trying to learn the thing. Is this the style of writing that has helped you or were you unaware of what I was referencing?

          My apologies, I took time to try explaining something better to people than the man pages and ending up better appreciating them.

            I was referencing articles doing the opposite of what you’ve done, then.
