My intention linking this is not to provoke someone or hurt feelings, moreover to show what we as community or maintainer need to fix.
Regardless how you see it, there is some truth in it, even if I personally disagree with most mentioned points ignoring that Android already runs on 1 Billion devices which is basically Linux…
I didn’t read dude’s blog/article and was drawn to FOSS/Linux because of ideology. But, functionality truly needs to be improved upon.
I’d still like to know why uninstalling xfburn takes other major, necessary programs with it. Same with Adwaita theme. Many other programs are like that, too. I no longer trust purge when removing a program, because it often takes too much with it and I don’t always have the time to look up all of the files it says it’ll take. If it didn’t add it when installing, it should take it when uninstalling. I am grateful for Linux and FOSS, but having to spend an entire week to re-add everything after formatting my partition to re-installing to Debian 11 has gotten me frustrated. I think one problem is the communication or not working together problem. Filing a bug report on any FOSS is not easy enough and I’d bet most of us skip it.
