I view whatever OS as a tool to do whatever it is I am doing. One thing is that I didn't really get into any linux management on scale until systemd was pretty much on most the stuff I had to touch. Although, before that I was using linux on a much more limited scale since I started back in the early 2000's, but that's different. But sometimes I get into some old stuff and I'm like "man, what the hell is going on here?"
