    No, that’s how you lose users. Private, nontransparent decision taking makes projects get dropped immediately.

    The timing just sucked. 32 bit has to go, but it can’t be this year or next year. And it can’t be a blanket drop as the dev wanted. Alternatives are not ready yet to keep gaming working, and gaming was the number 1 factor holding back desktop adoption.

    He is also falling for the internet fundamental attribution error: “If I hate or love something and everybody on the internet agrees with me, it’s because I’m always right and we are all intelligent individuals. If I love/hate something, and everybody on the internet disagrees, they were lied to, manipulated, astroturfed, are ignorant, misinformed, etc.”

    It could be true. But it could also be that your proposal is very unpopular and you’re wrong.

      Lol, how many people do you think are using fedora specifically for gaming? You think fedora is some last year project that’ll die off once it stops supporting this specific “thing”? That’s some delusion of grandeur.

      May be Steam and gamers who want to keep things running without problems should step up to maintain those packages required to keep their games running. Then we’ll see how fast the toxicity towards the developers die down.

      Why do you think “alternatives are not ready”? Is it maybe because people who work on opensource project on their free time aren’t bothered by what internet strangers think? Why aren’t you working on one yourself?

      People shitting on opensource devs to work beyond their comfortability are fucking shitty human beings.
