I love this paean, and I am delighted to assimilate this gleeful happy memetics into my own. But I think the hate sucks & can get lost. Maybe it's not hate, but I'm just so done, so fed up with intolerance and/or nattering against Lennart Poettering, and it all comes off as ridiculous to me. Whatever the qualms: Pulseaudio and systemd have been such vast giant leaps over where we were before. Most of the voices are just against. That is, they don't saying what else we ought have done, they dont speculate constructively. They're winges (thank you Ben Collins for re-introducing me to that word). It would be such a bleaker worse world without pulseaudio and without systemd. (I'm sorry to hear your product ran into such difficulty though!) I absolutely am happy to hand a massive trophy to Wim Taymans for building a truly elegant API architecture. But I repeat again: the core of PipeWire would not have been possible without the better Linux we have today. PipeWire competes with JACK because of https://docs.pipewire.org/page_dma_buf.html https://docs.pipewire.org/page_dma_buf.html . That's basically a fact.
