Stenzek has thrown huge hissy fits in the past. Basically taking his own labor hostage because of some spurious reasons. I sit here, building duckstation off the AUR and I have no issues. I have no idea what Stenzek is talking about. I can't stop people from submitting bug reports. I can't even tell stenzek is "lol calm down" because he'll just freak out even more. I have no idea what he expects anyone to do other than roll their eyes and hope he doesn't actually go full nuclear.
I hope stenzek keeps working on the thing, but I'm not going to reward his histrionics with asspats. He just needs to fucking cope.
I think what confuses me the most about this whole thing is the fact that, up until that commit, he
did go as far as to include his own PKGBUILD in the repo for Duckstation, but he continued to get complaints from people using "broken AUR packages" to this day instead of his own. Okay... why the fuck
were people still using broken packages instead of his then? Did he just not make it clear enough to people that his own package was meant to work?
And then I checked the
duckstation-git (
a) package on the AUR and noticed this latest comment.
So up until now, Stenzek never even had so much as a fucking account on the AUR through which to actually put up his own package or request ownership of the broken package's slug or anything? All this time, he made zero effort to indicate that his own package was even a thing, and now he's
surprised that the packages that were there front-and-centre were still being used and still leading a bunch of spergs to come complain to him?
So this is step one. Next step will be removing Linux support entirely,because I'm sick of the headaches and hacks for an operating system thatonly compromises 2% of the userbase,
and I don't even use myself.
This is just a fucking baffling lack of foresight here. It would be one thing if you said from the start "I don't use Linux, I don't know how it works and I frankly don't care, I can't support it". Fine, nothing anyone else could do about that then other than try to somehow make it work under WINE instead. But to go all this time until now still—pretty much
blindly—providing support for an OS you admit to not using or knowing much about, going as far as to add in all of those hacks for
GWayland and even—albeit not even properly!—providing a package for a distro that you now suddenly despise, doesn't do anything other than send a bunch of mixed messages to a bunch of retards who will expect that your shit works on their machine. He shouldn't have even pretended then that he gave a shit about their OS or that he would support it if he didn't want to be way in over his head and for it to blow up in his face as a result.
He made his bed and he can lie in it now. Everyone involved in this story should die o algo.
