Lennart Poettering, the author of the proposal and creator of e.g., systemd, avahi, and pulseaudio, definitely cares about workstations, I'd say.
- f1refly 4y agoAs someone suffering from systemd, avahi and formerly pulseaudio, I wish Lennart Poettering would care less about workstations.
- busterarm 4y agoAvahi in particular is classic for how when it works it barely works. If it ever works.
- 0des 4y agoHis workstations, and not to be snooty about it either, it's just like some people prefer crunchy peanut butter, and some people ruin their lives with creamy. I liked init systems of yore. I don't ask to toss out systems because its very useful in some settings, however, I prefer the init systems we had, when it comes to my personal workstation preferences.
- busterarm 4y agoAll of my non-professional work systems are OpenBSD and I will tell you that BSD init is a friggin breeze. Sadly that ship has sailed, but it's finally 10-12 years later that there are some niceties to systemd that make it worth it to me (systemd-resolved in particular).
- busterarm 4y agoAnd if you recall correctly in the Debian community, adopting his systemd was a long and challenging 2-year long debate. Debian adopted systemd three years after Fedora did. Afterwards multiple senior contributors resigned from their positions due to extraordinary stress levels caused by ongoing disputes about systemd. So when I tell you the Debian community mainly cares about servers, I'm not bullshitting you and I know who the fuck Lennart is.
