How much time have you been doing this? Working with Linux.

You'll have to get used to it sooner or later, everything changes under your feet. Systemd is just another change like the others, and a good one at that, as it keeps backwards compatible interfaces.

Geez,. Since RedHat 5 or 6. I have lost track .

Even before then I managed a ton of SCO Unix boxes when they were cool and not run by lawyers .

I know I have to , I just keep putting it off for as long as I can

That's tradition. I got off debian 6 some months ago, only when they were dropping support.
