I've been using Linux extensively for more than 25 years. Systemd has been one of the better improvements looking back. I don't understand why there are still people bashing it.

The vendor states "protecting these systems is often an afterthought". No, what would be an afterthought would be to install some (probably priviledged) system agent with no evidence of it resulting in a net security gain. Add-on agents are most often at best a new of for tech debt. I once ran across a server which had five management/"security" agents, several of them with CVEs. Unfortunately, if we don't start questioning this, it will likely get worse, as I've ranted about here: https://troelsarvin.blogspot.c...
