Why I quit: kernel developer Con Kolivas

#1 Post by Lou »

This is an interesting 2-part interview in which developer Kolivas explains why he quit. In the past, he tried to better the kernel when it comes to the desktop/userland with his patches. But it seems that politics and the 'suits' (read corporate needs) are winning, and no matter how powerful the hardware, the software sucks :)
