I am a Linux user, but I don't really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?
It doesn't do "only" that; I was comparing it with other init systems and described their main, basic init functionality. Sorry if I didn't do it well.
