    Pulseaudio was introduced in 2004. How come it took almost 20y for it to be replaced if it was that bad?

    Implementation, being what it is, improved the situation compared to alsa and other things before it. Again, while not perfect it made things better for everyone.

    It’s funny that this is a thing attributed to poettering as bad since things before were way worse… why not throw Sticks and stones at those people?

    I really don’t get it.

    And all of these things are optional. The fact that distro people and companies select them is because they solve real world problems.

      Did you learn nothing from X11 usage? May I remind you that X11 was invented by Xerox in the fucking 80s?!

      Bad software attaches itself to OSs like a cancer.
