- Lennart pushed most of the major distros to switch to systemd
- Also pushed a bunch of important projects to tightly integrate with systemd
- Moved from Red Hat to Microsoft
- Still working on systemd
- Microsoft is now the new lead company behind systemd

Things are coming up Microsoft. :ablobcatknitsweats:

"Lennart pushed most of the major distros to switch to systemd" - this is not true. He may have pushed it into RedHat (and by extent Fedora), but other distros adopted it by themselves. And for very obvious reason: it solved a lot of problems that Sys V init had and added a lot of new features. It's simply a superior technology.

i had less problems _even_ with sys v - there are a plethora of other good init systems - than with lennartd.

> added a lot of new features

which are technical debt.

> It's simply a superior technology.

no. it's a burning heap of toxic waste.
