      Most distros use systemd to manage deamons (mini apps that run in background / sevices) like e.g. Bluetooth.

      (those stuff you have to enable sometimes (systemctl enable my-new-app.service)

      You can use systemd-manager to check it out using a GUI

      This meme tells „imagine if windows would port Systemd to windows. Winsvc stands for Windows Service

          Systemd was actually a “clone” of apple’s launchd. Similarities with windows arise from the fact that it makes sense to manage services in certain ways on modern OSs. Also services on windows are completely different from Linux and MacOS, they are even a different executable file format, not a normal exe.

            I know lol. It was a joke, although I do think that in theory leaner systems like Runit are better. But I cannot dismiss some of the innovation/work done in systemd
