Can we put a stop to this weird obsession with attacking Pottering under _every_ systemd-related thread?

Fine, we get it, you don't like him. Or you don't like systemd. Whichever it is, comments like yours often provide zero substance to the discussion.

Maybe I have been here too long but I can guess exactly the content of each thread about systemd/Gnome/Wayland/Firefox before opening the link.

Apple and Electron are similar topics that belong on that list.

I agree emotionally, but OTOH we should not forget about the incentives of people and the history of projects.

the project is largely successful though, supporting linux has been way more pain when we have to do it for non systemd systems.. but i guess good news is we just charge customers more for their niche setups

I agree with your 2nd statement, but people should bring up things that should be discussed.

Otherwise, at some point, one of the 10000 [0] won't know there are alternatives and different ways of doing things.
