@Kensan @marcan As I said, I'm confused about why this is controversial—your guess may be better than mine. 😅 As usual though, there's an XKCD with one possible answer: https://xkcd.com/1172/

@jamey @marcan hah, yes that’s spot on 😆

Somehow with open source there comes a lot of entitlement and strong opinions… one of the good things is, that one can put in the work to back up these opinions.

What’s clear to me in this scenario is that Asahi/ @marcan are putting in so much work improving the whole ecosystem by chasing down obscure issues down to the compiler. I would think that would afford the project/him some more credibility when weighing in on issues like Xorg etc…

@jamey @marcan @Kensan experience in one thing doesn’t mean experience in another thing (the field is HUGE), although he probably has that, nor does it mean recognising what’s important about Unix (which he’s truly lacking, permitting only the subset of poettering’d users’ needs)
