Comment on Lennart Poettering on Systemd's Tumultuous Ascendancy in the Linux Community

Comments

Ugh, of all the references they could find for Torvalds being "enthusiastic" about systemd.

Oh and Poettering should be reminded that printers can show up as files under /dev (never mind that a basic printer is pretty much a teletype, aka tty, without the keyboard).

Damn it, you could do sound by cat pcm to /dev/dsp even.

Every response he gives in this article solidifies him as a architecture astronaut.

I messaged the author about finding an example of the attributed enthusiasm or removing it entirely, since I'm not sure I believe it. Though others have pointed out that not aggressively attacking it is almost endorsement from Linus...

He, like many others, can't find anything technically wrong with systemd. But he has mentioned that he is less than happy about the people involved.
