Thank you Emil for the response. Something had to be done. There is 0. I Repeat ZERO communication from the devs and maintainers. I don't mean to be rude. I love Arch. I do this out of care. If embarrassment is what it takes to actually get some movement, some communication then so be it. This has been a problem that has been building for a long time and seems to just be getting worse not better. LET US (community) HELP YOU! Talk to us. Since Reddit is cucked, please see the thread I created on 4chan for actual discussion: https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/84124691 <https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/84124691#p84125961> There have been allegations brought up of the Gnome maintainer saying they were too busy playing Fortnight or some other game to care. If true, that is not acceptable. Maintainers should not be able to hold packages hostage for the sake of fame. Even if not true, the issue still stands of packages being held hostage. With the upcoming Steam Deck, I'm hoping a huge influx of users come to GNU+Linux. We need to be at our best or everyone will crawl back to the duopoly that is Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS. This is our current shot to actually make a dent in the computing worlds usage %. Games are what push technological advancement forward. The more users we have = the more game dev support we have which might make Nvidia actually take GNU+Linux seriously. On Tuesday, 2 November 2021, Emil Lundberg <lundberg.emil@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Billy, I'm sure you have good intentions, but please don't do it like this. If you want to help I'm sure that's appreciated, but with this "NEW RECORD" tone you're just being rude. Being rude is not an effective way to convince people to help you or let you help them. There are better ways to point out a problem.
(I'm not saying that you're wrong, nor that you are right. But I hope this comes across as calm and well-meaning as intended.)
