I’m not sure I buy that launchd inspired systemd.  Launchd does not try to usurp any other system functions, unlike systemd.

If you Mac was upgraded to Big Sur and did not have enough free disk space, the initial installer was poorly written, and tried to do the update anyway.  No excuses for this, but this is a known bug that has been resolved.  You can always boot the Mac mini from the internet with the right hotkeys & install the OS.  Mac startup key combinations

Or did you really mean “bricked”?  I doubt an OS update did that…

Thanks,
