🧵

The other day I learnt that @kde is brewing their own Linux distribution, and it's been living rent-free in my head since. And I think I've come to a conclusion.

I am 100% sure that those involved are 100% vested in the idea - but yet, it sits 100% wrong with me.

Why? What if GoodYear starts making their own cars? They would tight-fit their tyres to their own cars, not all cars in general. Same if Pirelli starts makeing their own cars.

@MentalEdge I had no anger, only worries and a need for a discussion or clarification. I would however clarify that I am selective about who I talk to or take crap from. So please rest assured that it is entirely personal when I block you.

Sure.

Saying people would end up "cowering in fear" and telling KDE to reassign the person who came up with making their own distro to kcalc was entirely pragmatic on your part.
