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.
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)
Meeh… Stallman, no, but Linus, yes, most definitely. I love his sense of humor to be honest, watch his AMAs from time to time, they’re like standup to me 😂.
Stallman has done more than anyone for free software. Just because you don’t like how he talks doesn’t take away the talent and the sheer will of the man. Linux should have never entertained snowflakes
I want this man along with Richard Stallman and the creator of Slackware to be immortal

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

My favorite anecdote about Stallman is how some women at MIT kept massive amounts of plants in their office to ward him off.

Both. Period.
Stop idolizing people and especially stop idolizing RMS
