      Imagine if systemd was ported as the Windows init manager. (Memes about systemd being inspired by Windows with its bloat).

        Systemd was actually a “clone” of apple’s launchd. Similarities with windows arise from the fact that it makes sense to manage services in certain ways on modern OSs. Also services on windows are completely different from Linux and MacOS, they are even a different executable file format, not a normal exe.
