    Systemd is modular not monolithic. Distros choose which parts of system d to implement and it just happens to be most of it since its really good at what it does.

      What do you mean by modular though? I assume there’s serious coupling amongst systemd modules that make “modularity” just theoretical

        Its like 70 different files and not all are required. You can swap out parts of systemd like run a different init system.

          Sure but I wouldn’t say something is modular just because some things are modules. LIke yeah you can swap out networkd, but how about journald?

            I would. There are a lot of modules only a few have hard systemd dependencies
