From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still relatively beginner, but wouldn't 'journalctl -u nameofservice.service' also give you in depth logs over a longer period of time?
Yes, you can get the full log with journalctl.
Adding to this,
journalctl -fu servicewill jump to the bottom of the log and effectivelytail -Fthe log so any new output will be appended to your terminalWell that's way easier than my utilization of less or watch or tail that Ive been doing.
Yeah it's pretty slick
I second
journalctl -f -u SERVICE_NAME.serviceit's great and just works well. The.serviceisn't required, but it's a good habit to get into since systemd also has mounts and timers.
