From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Calm down, I only said I was curious!
I'm on Fedora so I'm unlikely to be switching from systemd for my main system, I have very little interest in switching init's and I'll use the one that comes with my distro but people talking it up makes me wonder.
As for rebooting, my couch gaming system gets started and shut down for each session because it could be days/weeks between use so shaving 10 seconds off the start up time is an interesting concept. Although I could probably do better just replacing the grub delay that HoloISO added for some unknown reason.
Why are you so invested in systemd that you have to project your values on other people?
Besides, different approaches can be educational and solutions to improve performance can always be reincorporated into systemd to improve life for everyone.
