If you are not using systemd, it is not relevant.

To be more specific, is it worth learning nowadays?

[markstos → etaioinshrdlu]

For DevOps, yes. Systemd can be a simpler solution than say Docker for some applications.

[cyberpunk → etaioinshrdlu]

Depends on your job I would say. If you're a swe and youre pushing your own app to prod via containers then you can pretty safely ignore it.

If you're in ops and you're mostly managing that fleet but you also have to look after some non-docker stuff (say, an old artifactory or some qa tool or other) then probably the time to learn how it works is before it breaks.
