From El Reg:

Lennart Poettering, creator of the systemd system management software for Linux, says the open-source world is "quite a sick place to be in."

He also said the Linux development community is "awful" – and he pins the blame for that on Linux supremo Linus Torvalds.

"A fish rots from the head down," Poettering said in a post to his Google+ feed on Sunday.

    I said half-jokingly in the Slashdot article that, as a FreeBSD dev, I was grateful to Lennart because he's single-handedly done more to drive people to FreeBSD than anyone else. I was mainly referring to PulseAudio (sound that works out of the box was what made me switch to FreeBSD over a decade ago and it's been pushing adoption for a while), but it sounds like systemd is continuing the job. Keep up the good work Lennart!
