This is exactly the terrible part of the community the OP talks about. Lennart while not being perfect, as no human is, tries to improve the lives of ordinary linux users. Comparing him to a misogynistic nazi like weev is unfair, and you should know that.
You are forgetting this is free software, you are free not to use it, just as much as you are. If you don't like systemd or pulseaudio then don't put it on your system. Sure there is a cost associated with going down that road.
Your post deserves down votes, because there is nothing enlightened or constructive about it.
You don't even bother to discuss why JACK is better than pulse audio and for which usecase. Mark Shuttleworth is introducing more fragmentation and papercuts than Lennart ever could e.g. Wayland vs Mir or the entire reason SystemD even exists and we are not all using upstart.
Lennart's audio work led to audio on Linux systems just work for the average user.
I expect that SystemD will advance server maintenance as much if not more.
All in all you sound like a fan of the Opera who is upset because someone invented the Muscial. Irrational and silly.
- anonbanker 12y agoPlease provide evidence that Poettering is doing his work for other people, rather than padding for his resume. Please provide evidence that I am not limited to LFS or Gentoo in order to be "free not to use" his work. Please provide evidence that Lennart's work, and not the bug fixing/patches of others to his work, made linux audio "just work". Please provide evidence that JACK doesn't do everything PulseAudio does. Please provide evidence that JACK didn't do everything PulseAudio does before PulseAudio was even written. I eagerly await your evidence.
- jerven 12y agoI think you are rather confused, you judged Poettering guilty not me. You need to prove that he is, not I that he is not. Sure you not a prosecuting attorney but I would expect the same idea of innocent until proven guilty to apply in as well as out of court. You are "free not to use" his work, you are not free to force others not to use his work. If anyone thinks Systemd is banana's and wants to use it in their system/distro then they are free to do so. You are not free to force them not to use it. You are free to try to convince them that it would be better if they don't and they are free to be convinced or not. By the way JACK is for professional audio work, PulseAudio is for consumer audio. Different users, different needs, and yet neatly complementary and cooperative with PulseAudio deferring to JACK2 when its running.
- anonbanker 12y agoSo, no evidence, then.
