Drama within a Linux Distro/open source project? I've seen this episode before...
I'll be honest with you at this point if I personally stopped using something on linux be it a distro or FOSS based purely on posts or stuff like this I'd probably be back on Windows because I'd have nothing left to use.
I'm guessing there's drama inside Microsoft too, we just don't usually hear about it lol
Read the first paragraph. This person sounds like someone who is butthurt that his work was forked and they were made obsolete. If someone took what I started and ran with it, I'd just be glad that I started something and move on.
I'm sure there is drama in the project. There is drama in every OSS project. Unless it hinders the project from delivering a functional system.....who cares? Get over yourself.
i thoroughly fart on this shit

My favorite comment of the year so far. Thank you for making my day.
The warning sign that’s making me doubt all of this is plainly Antheas’s lack of evidence in his essay.
No screenshots, links, signatures: nothing. Just his word.
Governance drama
<laughs in NixOS
That all seems pretty typical of volunteer organizations.
As with most single-party testimony provided after the fact, we can assume:
And none of it is necessarily malicious. Humans are just flawed creatures, and social relationships can often degrade over time.
And a 100% reason to remember the name
RIP, this whole thing is stinky. But at least now I know I will be choosing Arch for my new desktop.
So when is the libre Arch-Game distro going to come out?
it already is. it's called SteamOS
Wait, steam os is arch based?
it is, yes
libre
Arch already is that since all of Valve's additions go upstream
with 0 setup‽
No computer requires 0 setup. Not even the Steam Deck or a Windows PC.
ah, fellow setup purist.
Does it pass the toddler test?
With archinstall sure lmao
I keep finding the opposite.
Try several kindergartens, until you have a thousand participants.
Sure, dude. Valve is still sending all their contributions to SteamOS upstream to Arch. So if you're on Arch, Edneavour, or Cachy things are probably looking good for you. If what you care about is equipping toddlers with technology then your goals are vastly different then mine.
My argument 🧵 has always been ease of use. Nothing has come close to Bazzite GDX, but I will def. try these rec. So 🙇♀️
I would try any of the arch based flavors if you're lookin' but if Bazzite scratches that itch then dont let me stop you by any means. I usually do things the hard way anyway
The majority of the population doesn't
do things the hard way anyway
But again,.🙇♀️ 4 rec.s
WTF is up with people being such insecure assholes? Sounds like they need some starvation. There's real problems in the world that need solving.
Kyle always had some opinions if you deviated from his usage ideas, both here and on reddit
Has the relationship with ublue broken down?
A lot of what these derivative distros do will eventually be a sysext you can install on upstream Fedora atomic.
Ive seen a good few negative interactions with him on the Bazzite discord
