Happy Birthday, Dear Linux!

In two days, on August 25, we’ll traditionally celebrate the day when Linus Torvalds gifted to the world his product – operating system Linux. This story is a unique success story – because Linus had been developing his OS just for fun, and he hadn’t planned to conquer the IT Universe. However, he did :) And we already have been enjoying Linux for twenty-eight years. Happy birthday, Mr.Penguin Tux! We love you!

Hate towards systemd?

Honest question: Why do people dislike system and why is it being removed from distributions? I find systemd pretty easy to use and grasp, would love to know why there's hate towards it.

I want to go deep into linux so after internet search i found two books, "Linux:The complete reference" by McGraw hill whose latest edition was written in 2008 and "Linux Bible" about which i don't know much.

Which book would cover intermediate to advanced level Linux?
