hmm... so systemd and pulseaudio both were created by Lennart Poettering?

That... disturbingly makes much more sense than it should.

I guess you can sometimes recognize the writer's voice even in software design.

(they both replace services that worked fine with "improved" services that take hours of tinkering to get running as they should)

@kyonshi you didn't know? It's been a running joke for years.

While I'm as keen as the next guy to harp on Lennart's faults, I actually don't think the linux audio system was that great before pulseaudio. It has always been something of a mess. I do have some hope for PipeWire, though.

@AndreasDavour I was taking a parenting related break of linux stuff for a few years, only doing some minimal stuff on a few private machines. didn't really follow linux news anymore.

(yeah I most likely heard it before, and it's likely I cursed him out before when I tried to get Pulseaudio running)

@kyonshi I sometimes forget not everyone works with the stuff everyday...

@AndreasDavour I do now, which is why I have gotten back into it again
