I've never heard of the term before, I wonder if it's the basis for "puttering" as in "puttering about the house"

EDIT: nope, it's more direct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Poettering

a connection the article didn't make clear.

I was quoting the parent comment for misspelling "pottering" as "poettering" since I'd not encountered either term.

I'm not sure using someone's surname is such a great idea for this purpose. But I now at least understand why. Also their anger at the added complexity being done to Linux and surrounding structures including but not limited to systemd.

But these structures are still in flux. Even if it means a mess along the way.
