After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren’t aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual “jankiness” we’re used to.

In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.

And yes, Systemd does containers. :)

    Fully agreed. But I know how to use cron, I have a life to live, and this switch is way down the priority list.

    But it is something I’d like to find the time to do at some point.

      Well if it makes you more comfortable let me tell you that the format of OnCalendar is the same, or very close. I bet that just by looking at the following you know what is does!

      [Unit]
      Description=Logs some system statistics to the systemd journal
      Requires=myMonitor.service
      
      [Timer]
      Unit=myMonitor.service
      OnCalendar=*-*-* *:*:00
      
      [Install]
      WantedBy=timers.target
