Safe to install systemd system and service manager

[johnkay333]

I am a novice user and my system is running well. Is it safe to install systemd system and service manager update ?

G'day @johnkay333 and welcome to linux.org

Which Linux Mint?

If you are not sure, go to Start Menu, start to type in

welcome

and click the welcome entry, tell us exactly what it says.

I have to sign out for my evening (Australia), but someone will be along.

I believe systemd installs by default in most Linux Distros.

G'day John, and thanks for the info.

Eminently safe, I would hope!

Mint, and its "parent" Ubuntu, have been using systemd for some years now.

You can read about it here, if you are interested.

Great John, report back on how you go, and when you do, I'll talk with you a little about Timeshift.
