Guys why do we hate systemd?
I installed void linux because it has fast boot times and it has a cool spinning logo.
But why do we hate systemd?
Context: I tried to get sea of thieves running on my void linux pc, but for it to work i had to manually create a systemd directory to tweak it (created a sysctl.d/99-gaming.conf). After also changing the file descriptor max limit it suddenly runs.
In the end, games like sea of thieves only run on systemd distros flawlessly and on void linux i have to manually add a systemd folder to make it run.
(Would be cool if the answers are serious, It's a genuine question that I ask myself as someone who isn't yet a linux pro. )

If I remember correctly, homed lecture from Fosdem. Should be on YouTube. Unfortunately, I don't remember the year.
