I think expressing my own opinion about Lennart-made software is my |
| 2 |
right, after all. |
| 3 |
Firstly, it's almost impossible nowadays to avoid including avahi, |
| 4 |
systemd and pulseaudio into a desktop distro so, there is no real |
| 5 |
choice. This issue became a sensible matter for those users who for |
| 6 |
instance, wanted to have a silly mp3 player working without going |
| 7 |
through the PA nonsense, really missing the old |
| 8 |
ALSA-oh-it-was-always-working days. |
| 9 |
If you want to bring complexity but you end up not being able to |
| 10 |
handle it, then you're not a really good engineer, IMHO. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Having said that, I also wonder where's the lovely modularity the |
| 13 |
various *nix platforms had. If this is the actual direction of Linux |
| 14 |
Foundation, Redhat and Canonical, I am worried that Linux would end up |
| 15 |
being an OSX-wannabe. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Of course, I am not only bringing my personal opinion here, but the |
| 18 |
one of the majority of users I've been talking with. |
| 19 |
I am not against changes, I am actually in favor of them, but only |
| 20 |
when they really make sense and solve problems, which it doesn't seem |
| 21 |
the case lately. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I didn't want to offend anyone, but just having fun (sigh) of IMHO bad |
| 24 |
design decisions. |
