I use Linux since the Slackware day. Poettering is the worse thing that happened to the Linux ecosystem and, of course, he went on to work for Microsoft. Just to add a huge insult to the already painful injury.

This is not about security for the users. It's about control.

At least many in this thread are criticizing the project.

And, once again of course, it's from a private company.

Full of ex-Microsofties.

I don't know why anyone interested in hacking would cheer for this. But then maybe HN should be renamed "CN" (Corporate News) or "MN" (Microsoft News).

agreed, and now he's planning on controlling what remains of your machine cryptographically!

Same here, Linux since about 1995. Same opinion.

And funded. And confident they will sell the product well.
