If I buy a car, I do not have to be able to know it in every particular detail or to be a mechanic specialist to USE IT. But I am still able to tell the mechanic what is not working as before. The mechanic has the knowledge to find out the reason and to fix it, not me.
I hope you can find some analogy by yourself? I am a user and can only try to show what is different. I do not have the background of a developer.
Your analogy is fundamentally flawed You did not _buy_ anything.You downloaded _for free_ something which is produced, developed, and distributed by _volunteers_ working in their _spare time_ You then entered a mailinglist intended for the volunteering developers as part of that Project and have repeatedly made your demands. Your repeated posts on this mailinglist have, in my eyes, the following issues - Many of them are arguably off-topic, as they are related to issues which you personally have with your systems, due to choices you have made which run counter to that which the vast majority of this community supports. I would recommend any conversation which could be described in this manner is best served by our opensuse-support@ mailinglist or our forums. This mailinglist is primarily intended for openSUSE developers, to discuss the development of future versions of openSUSE. This purpose of this list is well documented [1][2][3] - The tone of your emails most certainly convey an assumption that the openSUSE project somehow owes you something or should undoubtedly do what you tell them to do. As openSUSE is an organisation driven by voluntary contributions, I can assure you that approaching anything in the openSUSE Project in such a manner will not have positive results. - Many contributors have tried sincerely to give you feedback about why many of your assumptions are wrong (for example, the reality of UTF8's dominance in the world, and the fallacy that a kernel in one distribution having ANY relation to the kernel in Leap, when Leap has hundreds if not thousands of backported patches). You have ignored that feedback, and instead repeatedly dug your heels in and repeated your demands in a way that leads me to think that you believe we should do exactly what you tell us to do. To give you a more apt analogy than your original one If I visit a charity soup kitchen providing free soup, and started shouting how their soup tasted terrible and demanding that they cook me a 4 course meal, I am likely to find myself either kicked out, or if I'm lucky, served soup (and if I'm really lucky, the volunteers wont spit in my soup). Welcome to the openSUSE Project. Enjoy our soup. You're welcome to help us make it better. But your disruptive shouting and demands do not help that, and you are starting to not only annoy our kitchen staff, but the other people waiting in line for soup.
