Just learned of timers the other day, but I'm a cron guy, anybody out there using timers? Anything I'm missing out on?

For me ive always used:

  • cron if its simple and can take care of itself.
  • systemd if its more complex and needs the OS to do a thing related.

Its not a hard set rule but its like 95% cron and some systemd on the side for me.
