  • Bcschefs was removed from the kernel, but it qas because Kent doesn’t play well with others, and not because of the technical side. BCachefs had a lot of potential, but it serves noone to end up in another Resier situation.

    Kent had a habit of pushing for wider kernel changes to support the FS, without working with the community, which will always break things. He is also very ego driven, and self-obsessed, which is not always a bad thing.

    Linus’ person-to-persin issues always started from a technical perspective, so it is different.













  • I think you have the wrong tone.

    The comainers were nvidia, when they didn’t participate in the early anni g, and then cam in late trying to push a rewrite to the memory sharing model.

    Was that just my fantasy, or did other people have the same drean? I did mention that I was an early adotper. Maybe I should have clarified that I never went back.

    Listen, no matter your opinion on wayland, you can admit that some technical decisions made were not optimal.


  • The issue with wayland is that both the process and the base mechanisms had significqnt flaws, that made it take a long time to get things working. In all fairness, the core team uad a valiant effort for a dwcade, hampered by unresponsive complainers, and late-to-the-party suggestions.

    Fyi: I am an early WL adopter, but not on any of the major DEs.
