- In this lesson,
we will talk about Systemd.
Systemd is the manager of everything.
It is used on most Linux distributions,
but not on WSL.
And that is because, as I told you,
when we installed WSL in Windows, subsystem for Linux,
Windows is taken care of specific parts
and that includes service management as well.
Systemd is the first thing that is started
after starting the Linux kernel.
And the main function is to manage services.
Apart from that,
it also manages mounts and timers and paths and much more.
And nice thing about systemd is that it is event driven,
and that means that it can react to specific events.
And it's extremely cool in managing dependencies.
Now, the items that are managed by systemd
are called units,
and there are many units available,
but you should focus on learning
how to manage services with systemd.
And that's what we are going to talk
about in the next video.
