Actually they have a device support page: https://asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support https://asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support I can't imagine then what's his problem. I don't get offended by people that can't even read. I don't normally call them people let alone entitled :\ Set up a bot that links them the device support page, and problem solved? I don't get it

    > It's comments like these that causes people to wear out. No it isn't. You - fundamentally - don't get to control what people say to you. You need to filter how to take that. And that's incredibly hard. Especially in open source. You need to both be able to ignore (some version of "idiots, who can't be bothered to read") and be openminded enough to take weird requests, because they could be the starting point of a new major contributor. The second is optional, as long as you are happy just doing your thing, but then the former probably won't become a problem for you.

But realize the (quoted) requirements are you putting on the open source developer. A developer without these skills will burn out.

        I'd argue I'm not putting any requirement on the developer, I'd argue I'm making a statement of fact. Namely > A developer without these skills will burn out. And I think that's something that should be said more directly. If you want to do open source (as in become the provider of load bearing infrastructure): Then you really need to realise what you are getting yourself into. Would I like that to be different? Sure. Would I bet on that changing? Absolutely not. And yes, that absolutely means you can either do open source as a hobby, then nobody should ever be willing to rely on the thing you are building (because you can just say "i've got better things to do than fixing the security bug you got") or you can attempt to get other people to use and rely on it, but then you have to find a way not to burn out.

    It is the need of personal gratification and having a public and active online persona that makes hobby devs wear out from other users feedback. You don't get negative feedback if you don't open communications channels for that.
