    I’m not too new to linux, but also not too veteran, has it always has this shit drama? There is always some sort of fucking child throwing a tantrum about some shit. Has it always been the case? It’s really getting annoying.

      FOSS land is always going to be populated by freaks and geeks. The well socialized, talented devs get jobs at Google. It’s imrpessive the “system” works as well as it does but passion is a big motivator.

      Petty much. The big difference this time is that there’s a common enemy (Rust) instead of relatively isolated petty crap.
