My hobby: randomly blaming Lennart Poettering for any Linux problems I have, regardless of systemd proximity.

@ryanc @xabean Are there still Linux problems which are *not* proximate to systemd anymore?

Some are caused by his other projects.

I think he’s probably responsible for more people switching to FreeBSD than any other individual.

Counting the days until the people who make "disable Windows 11 AI"-scripts produce their own NetBSD distro with preloaded Wine.
(packages an older version of Wine, but was the first OS that said no to slopcode)

@david_chisnall @waltman @ryanc @xabean hell, between that and LLM bullshit in general it's got me considering switching to Gentoo O_o
Show threadGourd1d ago
@david_chisnall @waltman @ryanc @xabean There are things I can find to admire about Gentoo. The time investment to figure out what those are and maintain them is very, very steep.

His project before systemd was pulseaudio. Pipewire has largely undone the damage it did, but it drove a lot of people to FreeBSD before then.

@david_chisnall
I know. At the time PA was something welcomed by probably anyone using consumer audio on Linux, me included.
