Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I'm not missing the point. I understand their policy and it makes sense to me. They cannot really afford to be supporting not only older versions but their implementations in random distros. That's all they'd ever have time for if they did.
I don't think you mentioned the patch before, and that part is shitty, but if you blamed them for borking your system.. that combined with the constant annoyance of people complaining about a free product, I can see them not being willing to help further.
KDE looks like trash to me, like an unstable nightmare. The other desktops don't seem great to me either. So I'm sticking with gnome for the foreseeable future
Yes, this is the attitude right here. This is the one that people complain about. People are not "complaining", people are reporting issues. And it's not free software if it's being gatekept by entitled assholes
You're being defensive about that but I don't know that you did that and didn't say you did. You understand that all support receives irrational and angry requests right? It must be hard to deal with, especially if people are being demanding. This is not to say you were doing that but it is to say I understand the mindset of people enduring that. "Oh this guy told us we broke his system, yeah don't worry about that one."
