Of course, and they didn't, because there were no sensible alternatives on linux. All these projects were clones of decently engineered macos projects, before they were created, linux people used some truly silly staff like sysvinit.
I would use something better than pulse and systemd, but there is nothing better available.
- antt 8y agoJack and runit. They manage better performance in real world use cases with a fraction of the manpower invested in them. I wonder what will happen to the suite of projects supported by redhat now that they are owned by IBM however.
- ernst_klim 8y ago>Jack and runit. Jack as a regular sound daemon? are you joking? Have you tried to run jack with several audio sources and audio outputs (including bt headset) without pre-configuration? It's not a pulse alternative, it's a low-latency daemon for professional stuff. Consumer oriented daemon should just work. >runit Does it do anything beyond service managing? Login, timers, bootloader, containers, logging facilities? >runit starts /etc/runit/1 Wait, does it simply run sh scripts? No, thank you.
