Much like docker.

I am not sure what you are talking about. I am talking about this:

"Within 9 days, all of the top 10 Linux distributions will use systemd by default, or descend from one that does." https://chimeracoder.github.io/docker-without-docker/#1

What they mean is when the slides were made, Debian 8 was about to be released in "stable" with systemd. With debian 8 released the only oddball is ubuntu with their own early fork of systemd called upstart. It means from this day forward the things you see in the demo are already or inevitably available on every install of linux. You don't need to install anything special to do what he's doing there.

1. Upstart is not a fork of systemd, and was started a fair amount of time before systemd. 2. Ubuntu 15.04 just shipped with systemd as the default init system (although installing "upstart-sysv" the system should revert to using upstart).

"inevitably available on every install of linux"

s/every/most.

Slackware and a few others still do not use systemd and quite possibly never will.
