Sounds interesting. I'll have to setup a VM to check it out, as I've been
hearing good things about it lately. It's been awhile since I've used a Debian
based system, so aptitude is probably much different now. Everything systemd
related that I've ever encountered using Archlinux has never given me any
issues. When it first came around I was skeptical as well, but seriously.. no
issues at all and was a smooth transition, and setting up services is just as
easy as writing a sysvinit script.

I do this with Arch also. It's a little bit of manual labor for a better
system, imo.

And to stay on topic, I haven't installed MBSE for a few years (probably more,
but it's hard to count in BBS years these days).. Was there any major updates?
Or just mainly bug fixes?

Regards,
Nick
