This kind of felt like it should be in DIY or something and there is also not a sub for laser cutters so it seems like this might be the best place for it. They claim there are too many distros to support, etc, etc... Then just pick ONE and support that. Its no different than Windows or Apple.

From the post:

>Angry Birds, flash mobs, Russell Brand, fidget spinners. All of these were virtually unavoidable in the previous decade, and yet, like so many popular trends, have now largely faded into obscurity. But in a recent announcement, the developers of LightBurn have brought back a relic of the past that we thought was all but buried along with Harambe — popular software not supporting Linux.

Yeah, I get it. I have a long and strong background in Linux and some in development. When I try to run something on a "unsupported distro" I know that is on me and if it is not working right or after a long time I can't get it to work right I just bring up an instance of the "supported configuration/distro".

If I get it working on my distro of choice I document it so others can too if they want to and I update my documentation regularly if it breaks and I can fix it. I am probably not the "average user" of any software at this point though.

Open Source is however, NOT a failure. Damn near most of the world's most important systems run on it. Now, if you talk about consumer/desktop Linux, etc then you might have a point there. Underskilled people trying to do something that was never intended with software they don't understand. Then expecting someone to magically fix the problem they created for "free". Those people.. Can Fuck off.

Then again, I do donate to the projects that I use or if they have a "paid tier" that is not out of my budget I buy it.

I agree that there is no need for a laser cutting sub, the amount of people on Poal with a actual laser cutter might be like 3. I post to the 3dPrinting sub from time to time. I am probably one of maybe 15-20 people that has one and uses it.
