The Linux kernel is much stricter about hacky patches and regressions. This has led to beef between the kernel and system developers in the past. The famous "I'm f*cking tired of your code" was directed at a systemd developer. While searching through the systemd issues, i noticed various form of that issue (systemd spamming logs) still persist. And Lennart doing their "you are holding it wrong"... nothing has changed since Linus' rant.

Approach to the project maintenance really seems to be a significant difference, thank you. It would not account for most of the early attacks (when systemd was not adopted so wildly yet), nor the types of arguments ("unix philosophy", or "corporate takeover" like in this article) I mean, Linus is not known for mincing words or avoiding beef either. Is the style of personality (Linus/Lennart) at play? I mean, this is some doctorate degree on internet sociology level of beef here.

  When systemd broke tmux (which isn't a Linux project, but ported from OpenBSD) and instead of reverting or fixing their own bug, systemd devs went to the OpenBSD folks and asked them to work around the bug that they caused themselves. This is ragebait-level insolence: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/428 https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/428
