I'm reminded of the guy who supports paint.net pretty much single-handed announcing that he updated the suite to Linux in short order thanks to help from an AI toolset.
People were really fucking hostile to him for no compelling reason. This was an obnoxious and finnicky job that nobody else seemed keen on contributing to. It was a one-man project that I'll personally say has been my go-to for image editing for... at least a decade. And it was incredibly high demand. Arguably the number one request for future releases delivered at long last.
At some point, folks are going to have to square the circle between "I want access to a large and useful suite of free-at-use software that I can download as needed without juggling licenses" and "I don't want any of the indie developers I'm relying on to develop using tools I'm ethically opposed to".
You dig into to a nice big juicy steak on the house, then get all upset because it's not free-range? Fuck off with that.
I switched to cachyOS and the amount of bugs I found in less than 2 hours of use was staggering. I reported some of the issues on their discord because they're github asked way too much info for me to be arsed. One user reacted with "works on my machine" and I just ignored the problems for now. I think an LLM written patch is the only thing that would bring me to contribute to the fragmented mess.
