&gt; I totally agree with Lennart on this one.<p>There&#x27;s a certain rich irony that Lennart is being flogged for following the Unix tradition (root can do anything, including blow up their monitor with bad X configs); that his detractors are suggesting userland tools manage their hardware (normally the job of the kernel in a Unix system); that systemd ought to be expanded to manage hardware (after years of complaining it&#x27;s too big), presumably by adding whitelisting capabilities and a database of known-good&#x2F;known-bad UEFI implementations.<p>I guess at least it demonstrates how utterly unhinged some people become when his name is attached to anything.
