As someone who has been using Linux since the 90s and gone through many different unit systems, I like systemd way more than any of the past ones. It makes adding services dead simple, and is much smarter about handling dependencies and optimizing startup sequences.

The main complaints I’ve seen about it seem to be people that don’t understand that systemd init is a separate thing from all the other systemd stuff. If you don’t like all the other systemd things, you don’t need to install them at all.

Definitely agree on Celeste. The way the experience of playing the game mirrors the story is masterful.

Can you post a photo of your actual connector? Inspect it closely for broken/damaged pins. Where do the other ends of these cables go? If it’s a proprietary connector that’s hard-wired into the motor, then replacement cables might not be readily available. If the connector is broken and replacements are not available, then I would probably consider replacing the connectors with a soldered connection.
