All operating systems are buggy and insecure.  Some are less so than
others.  I have no particular opinion on whether systemd makes a system
more or less secure.  (The system I'm typing this on happens to use
systemd, a fact that I routinely ignore.)

If you prefer to avoid systemd, that's fine, but I don't see the
relevance to Ada.
