What's wrong with journald? I do not know much about it, aside from having to use journalctl to view logs occasionally.

Logs being stored in binary is the main problem, I think.

You can of course copy them into whatever format you want, systemd has support for syslog style export.

Versus the logical dmesg|grep {what you are looking for} or tail -n 30 /var/log/messages.

Tell me you never tried

  journalctl | grep {term}
without telling anything.

Also you are probably never worked with a localised distros. Go try your luck at least on a non-Latin one.

you can just run journalctl -g {term} too lol
