Why do you not trust Poetteringware and red hat influenced projects like systemd, Wayland, Pulse, Pipewire, GNOME, Avahi, etc?
Give me concrete reasons why you have a level of distrust that causes you to avoid these things. I am on the fence because sometimes they seem too good to be true. They obviously don't make these things out of the kindness of their own heart, but I also don't see any concrete evidence to suggest that they are nefarious to me as a user.

That's a personal preference. I want to hear the arguments about why these projects are untrustworthy.

There is an error/feature in systemd where usernames beginning with numbers are automatically added to the wheels group. According to Poettering it is expected behavior in Unix clones, but a lot of people think it might be a security risk
But y'all give that man some rest. I know he's a bit of an outsider and has a massive ego, but so are we too. And systemd was the first project that ever tackled boot order problem

I use both extensively. Whenever I use a systemd-based distro, especially with gnome, the system is unreliable and bloated.
It can't shutdown properly, it leaks memory, it's buggy, unstable, it freezes sporadically.
Right now I'm using Void linux, no desktop environment, only a window manager, and it's stable as fuck.
The reason these projects are untrustworthy is because of how they lock down the entire ecosystem with their dependencies.
Sometimes you want to run an alternative, and you HAVE to download theirs EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T USE THEM. This is now how free software works.
Look up feature creep, and especially vendor lockin. These are not new problems, but were major issues for unix-like systems and free software decades ago:

Poetteringware is made by smelly krauts. All I need to know

>There is an error/feature in systemd
There is not only one error, there are many. Primarily an (intentional) error in its architecture where it is not an option but literally inextricable from a free OS. Even linux (the kernel) can be replaced by other kernels.
