Emulation - Retro Gaming In Style

DuckStation is in flatpak form, on flathub, right now, official version.

I mean, I too would get very, very annoyed by a tiny minority of overall users complaining about not being able to deploy/use my software in a way that ... there is a functional alternative to... and I am not an expert in their particular preffered use case.

The way I am reading this is that he has removed PKGBUILD, and that entirely dropping linux overall is basically a threat, not necessarily a promise.

Obviously that is my subjective interpretation, but it is my interpretation, thus I find the post title ... maybe not the most accurate.

Obviously nuking all linux support would be doing massive excess splash damage to unintended targets, and I do think he's acting a bit rashly, but at the same time, I completely empathize and sympathize with being constantly bothered by people with very specific demands... again, in a case where there is a viable alternative.

But, I also think a potentially better solution to all this would seem to be for him to just allow a fork or downstream version of DuckStation, just publically say "I'm not supporting PKGBUILD/Arch, if Arch people wanna figure it out, go nuts."
