Subject: [PATCH] docs: clarified systemd installation instructions in init.md
 for Ubuntu users.

Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for newer versions of Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.

Also noted what version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init.
