Systemd founder and lead developer Lennart Poettering announced the creation of a new company called Amutable. The Amutable company being led by Chris Kühl (CEO), Christian Brauner (CTO) and Lennart Poettering (Chief Engineer) will be focused on delivering determinism and verifiable integrity to Linux systems.
The irony of Lennart “let’s change everything about Linux because I know better” Poettering creating a company called Amutable is not lost on me.
But also, that tracks because now it’s “I know better so now you can’t change anything” which is pretty on brand.
Systemd haters always freeze up when you point out the fact that Poettering did, in fact, know better and that systemd has been incredibly successful and beneficial for the ecosystem.
@entwine @IcedRaktajino Haters know there are loads of other good ways to orchestrate an operating system. E.g. #shepherd
Do you mean GNU Shepherd? The same init system that only got to 1.0 last year? Systems has been carrying Linux for years at this point.
His stuff has been an improvement though
