There was a mote of an idea floating about a few months back you've reminded me of. Basically distrohopping the hard way - start with one distro and install/remove packages until you've gotten to another one.

No idea what you're taking about, but I'll always upvote this picture.

How does one actually use systemd? I tried making a script to trigger every time I boot up but it didn't work out for me

This should work. Add a file /home/username/.config/systemd/user/my_cool_service.service with this content:

[Unit]
Description=My cool service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/home/username/my_cool_script.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Now add the script /home/username/my_cool_script.sh.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello from my cool script."

Enable and run the service.

$ chmod +x /home/username/my_cool_script.sh
$ systemctl --user daemon-reload
$ systemctl --user enable my_cool_service.service
# Optional:
$ systemctl --user start my_cool_service.service 
$ journalctl -e --user-unit=my_cool_service # You should see the echoed string from the script.

The service should now run every time the user username logs in.

Oh, thanks! My distro has a package that has a bunch of visual configurations that reset on boot and I wanted to do my configs on top
