One of the main complaints about systemd is that it's not just an initialization system, it takes control over how much of the low level system behaves, from basic process management to networking and more. This arguably goes against the Unix philosophy of tools that "Do One Thing and Do It Well"[0]. There are massive threads online about other concerns people have, so I won't repeat them here, but there are plenty of valid concerns. It's also worthy to note that any major change in an init system, or any core systems, is bound to cause unforeseen problems and it's impossible to test every hardware configuration that may be out there. But it's been used in Red Hat for several years, and since the introduction of systemd happened in 15.04, there was a full year of testing in the Ubuntu community before 16.04 was released. Hopefully most of the kinks have been worked out in that time. Speaking as a desktop/laptop user, as well as someone who runs servers now using systemd, I haven't had a problem with the switch. Whether it's sysvinit, Upstart or systemd, as long as it doesn't get in my way and the transition documents (like rewriting init scripts) are clear, I don't care and have steered clear of the controversy.

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for those slides. I noticed that you mentioned that 16.04 is the first LTS with Systemd. I have heard horrible things about systemd. Do you agree? thanks.
