That's the story; he proposed new software and his employer liked the idea and paid him to develop that idea.
End of story.
People getting mad because they are "forced" to use a free software system? That's the fan-fiction from the peanut gallery.
- corrral 4y agoSo why's no-one mad at any other init or audio daemon authors? Poettering just had bad luck?

- kaba0 4y agoBecause there is no other* that actually works properly to even get half as popular? * there is now pipewire which will hopefully overtake pulseaudio though
- corrral 4y agoThere were popular audio daemons before PulseAudio took over, though. It's not like it entered a completely empty "market", if you will. Nobody was mad at the authors of those, even though in fact they did also suck. Nobody seems upset over Pipewire. So I don't think you've found the reason.

- esarbe 4y agoNah. The comments in this thread are just fan-fiction of people that are unhappy with the actual story.
