I've used linux for decades, and Unix for almost half a
century.  systemd is different, and not nearly as well
documented.  I'd love to find a "recipe book": 

  systemd for dinosaurs

which explains the user- and sysadmin- facing differences,
perhaps with pages indexed by the old commands (all the
way back to AT&T Unix), explaining how to use systemd
commands to accomplish similar (or better) results.

Perhaps also some shell scripts for /usr/local/bin named
like the ancient commands, which transmogrify command line
arguments into a plausible systemd command line, print it
out for the user with a short explanation, and ask
"run this systemd command yes or no?"

Over a life, memory grows like an onion; in old age,
memories peel off the same way.  Tools that help grandma
keep her servers running means fewer plaintive phone calls
at 3am, interrupting important video games.
