> Red hat certainly burns a lot of money in service of horrifyingly bad people.
Red Hat also has a nasty habit of pushing their decisions onto the other distributions; e.g.
- systemd
- pulseaudio (this one was more Fedora IIRC)
- Wayland
- Pipewire (which, to be fair, wasn't terrible by the time I tried it)
Pushing their decisions? This is comical.
I guess Debian, SUSE, Canonical, etc get that email from Red Hat just go along with it. We better make the switch, we don’t want our ::checks notes:: competitor made at us.
systemd and friends go around absorbing other projects by (poorly) implementing a replacement and then convincing the official project to give up.
I don’t know where they come from, but I try to avoid all in that list. To be fair, audio is a train wreck anyway.
Eh, pulseaudio got a lot better, and pipewire "just works" at this point (at least for me). Even Bluetooth audio works OOTB most of the time.
Pipewire rocks. Wayland it's half baked and a disaster on legacy systems. SystemD... openrc it's good enough, and it never fails at shutdown.
