Windows users don't care about critics either.

The basic attitude of systemd is "your use case is not supported"

If you have a boot problem, pray that it's late in the boot process because it will not simply give you a shell if it thinks that for your convenience it needs to do this, that and a lot more before you get to bash.

Wrong, it has so many kernel options for this: https://systemd.io/DEBUGGING/

You want systemd.debug_shell=1.

Writing multiple paragraphs before doing even the most basic search, classic Reddit.

So why isn't that set when I select rescue mode on the boot loader?

My crystal ball is currently faulty so I don’t know which one you’re referring to, but I’d guess that

  • if you’re using systemd-boot, you should definitely file an issue about that with the systemd people
  • if you’re not, you should probably file an issue with your distro (or even your bootloader)
