almost every project that makes GNU/Linux what it is has some issues: things that can be improved, things that could have been done better, legacy code, vision conflicts... it's the cost of being made from several single projects merged together still such a unique and important option in this world where users only matter for their money and data

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really thought that the effort of Fedora integrating flatpaks with their atomic spins meant that flatpak development was anything but lacking. I wonder if Redhat's budget falls too short to take a look at those PRs? Specially for the replacement of pulseaudio, giving mic permissions because you allowed audio to go through your speakers really shouldn't be a thing. Great summary either way
As I went further down the article, Wick just became this badass code fighter that killed OSTree with a single line of code in my mind
