Trying to compare Windows updates favorably to updates on systemd seems a bit bizarre. I can't ever remember seeing an upgrade ask for a reboot on Raspberry PI OS (debian 12). And I can't ever remember seeing a Windows update that didn't reboot the system.
As a long-time Windows developer (both apps and device drivers) substantially coming to Linux long after the decision to use systemd was made, I am impressed as heck by Systemd.
And was completely horrified by my very limited experience, as a user, with pre-systemd Linuxes. That was insane. Manually edit what in to which system file? And my system invariably didn't even HAVE that file.
Even writing systemd units is virtually effortless.
