What are some significant differences to expect when switching to an alternative, and can that affect gaming compatibility and performance?

    my one critique is pretty subjective, but i find it difficult to find simple clear documentation online about how certain syntax works and how certain tasks are accomplished.

    Recently i was trying to set up a cron-job type automation to run a script every minute. I know how to do that in cron (and if i didn’t, there are tons of good resources online) but i had a hell of a time figuring it out for systemd. I also wanted to have the script run at boot or user login and i couldn’t figure that one out (but i know how to do it with cron)

    i’m not a power user so it’s entirely likely the information was hidden in plain sight and i completely missed it

      Were you looking at man systemd.timer? Pretty much everything you need is on there and it is not too complicated.
