systemd is extremely modular. Pretty much anything that comes after a hyphen (e.g. -networkd, -logind, etc) is optional unless your distro builds it all into one (and even then I'm pretty sure you can disable most of them).
And as for the whole "UNIX Philosophy" thing, when you show me a perfectly UNIX-like Linux distro, especially one with the speed and most importantly simplicity of a systemd-using Linux distro, then we can talk.

People are still enthusiastic about systemd after this: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...8-root-exploit news? This is exactly the reason I've ignored systemd. Too unsafe by all the functions they added that don't even belong in an init system.

Systemd 228 shipped at the end of 2015 ... The issue ended up being silently fixed in January of last year ... The issue was fixed in systemd 229, so just make sure your systems are not running v228.
Furthermore, you needed local access to even perform the exploit. There have been far worse exploits where you would be more vulnerable to attack, the chance that you'd be affected as a desktop user would be minimal, if you had a server instead, one would hope that it was well secured preventing the local access in the first place, else you have more important problems to be concerned about.
systemd is great imo. I don't think many of those against it understand the benefits of why or the problems that distro maintainers and users would have prior.

Dnsmasq does a very good job helping in Web developing with Apache virtual hosts.
I wish systemd-resolved would do this part too, so I don't have to install Dnsmasq server alongside and have 2 servers for the same thing.
Somebody asked if it's possible to do this with systemd-resolved and the answer suggests that it's not possible.
I use Ubuntu for development. And I've build my dev env with using dnsmasq for resolving my dev hostnames, usually it's: <projectname>.dev.net So I set up my own DNS server for getting pro...
And this is what I'm using Dnsmasq for
