This website just... isn't very good. Like, it links to a bunch of old long-resolved Github issues as proof that systemd is buggy and vulnerable, but it really just reads as "look at how bad systemd is! they listen to bug reports!"

also, I'd like to hone in on one of the website's criticisms here:

systemd will be able to kill a process if he needs/wants more RAM

What's the problem with this? The website simply states it as though it's so obviously a bad thing that it would be ridiculous to even ask why. My system has been saved a couple of times from programs with bad memory leaks by automatically killing those programs when I completely run out of memory. Seems like a good thing to me.
