Poetterware is a type of software mostly found on Linux systems, for example systemd, pulseaudio, policykit, consolekit, xdg-open, colord and more.
This software generally works very
well and solves really complicated problems, but if it doesn'
t behave the way it should, you will have a hard time debugging the issue (
e.g. via dbus), working around it (by quick hacks) or use
alternative software. It may be written by Lennart Poettering or the freedesktop foundation or other participants in the ecosystem.
