Patrick Volkerding. It's amazing he's still managing his own Linux distro after all of these years. And I'm eternal grateful for him refusing to adopt systemd and pulseaudio when they were both not mature and stable enough and most other distros didn't care.
Most users actually have enjoyed both systemd and pulseaudio for many years now. They are both some of the best technology we have in the Linux world.
Yes, they are mature and stable now. But they weren't when they were first introduced into Ubuntu, for example.
pipewire is certainly much better than pulseaudio tho.
Yeah it's even better, I agree. :)
[citation needed] on pulseaudio being among the best technology.
Always a pain, pulsesudio. Pipewire works better in my opinion
I love everything about Slackware except for the occasional weirdness and the absolute lack of package management from the distro itself (discounting third-party tools)
