Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.

  No, but carrying the grudge this long and vocally leaves me to wonder if the story is as crisp as put forth.

  And FOSS die hards put many people off of lemmy early on.

  Seek? Yes. Expect? No.

    Carrying a grudge? “This long and vocally”? Who? How?

    And I’ll say it again - it isn’t toxic entitlement for users to expect to receive support on the platform they’ve been told to use to receive support. I’m not sure how you can argue differently, unless you twist words to the point of meaninglessness.

    You are the only one here carrying on a grudge and being vocal about it.

    Are you a big fan of FOSS? How much are you going to support FOSS developers today hmmm?

      No. Every time FOSS comes up on Lemmy, FOSS adherents remind me why I’d never dip my toe in that mess.

      I use some open source, but I also pay to support it, so I’m not true FOSS. See: Home Assistant. I contribute to the support at times, and I’m familiar with the frustrations - and the need to be consistently cordial. And thick skinned.

      For all you know you’re talking to someone on the spectrum. Perspective matters.

  Why wouldn’t I be entitled to tech support if they’re offering tech support?

    I meant it’s not “toxic entitlement” like the other commenter I replied to claimed. Edited my original comment to hopefully be clearer.
