- m463 6y agoI've never heard of the term before, I wonder if it's the basis for "puttering" as in "puttering about the house" EDIT: nope, it's more direct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering a connection the article didn't make clear.
- sfgweilr4f 6y agoI was quoting the parent comment for misspelling "pottering" as "poettering" since I'd not encountered either term. I'm not sure using someone's surname is such a great idea for this purpose. But I now at least understand why. Also their anger at the added complexity being done to Linux and surrounding structures including but not limited to systemd. But these structures are still in flux. Even if it means a mess along the way.
