A first note before reading the rest. I’m not trying to pick a fight with you. I just disagree with you on this and want to make myself clear. Also I’m not standing by while I feel I’m being attacked on something I feel is helpful and has helped many people already.

So this is the real issue. You assume that because I wrote something down you have to do work. While I already know you don’t do things you don’t want to, so what is your issue here?
I’m the release manager for MicroOS
Okay, thank you for that. This is for real btw. I am for real grateful that you started MicroOS as I see great potential for it.
On a side note though. Who or where did you get appointed release manager for MicroOS. Was there an election or is this self appointed?
If you do write something down and declare it officially supported, I will have to do that work.
Where do I write officially supported. I never say that nor do I know what officially supported means in the case of MicroOS.
Could you please elaborate on that because you keep saying official support and I have no idea what that means.
I will have to triage those bugs.
Have you actually received bugs for it? Have I ever posted a bug for you on MicroOS?
I will need to accept those pull requests to the core parts of the distro.
Yeah where we had discussions before and where you threatened to remove stuff you don’t use but I do, just because you don’t want more work. Which is a bully attitude to begin with.
I will need to juggle the growing integration problems the more complex support base requires.
One of the absolute core points of MicroOS is that it has a narrower scope than the rest of Tumbleweed.
Are you the sole decider of this?
One of the reasons for that is to be able to provide a very narrowly focused, opinionated, polished experience to its users.
Another one of those reasons is to be able to provide that narrowly focused, opinionated, polished experience with a minimal amount of effort by a minimal amount of people.
If more people were actively actually helping on “in the muck”, actually triaging bugs with me, actually fixing packages/patterns (not just throwing changes over the wall and ignoring feedback), actually handling the integration issues that need to be fixed to support some of this stuff.. then sure, MicroOS can have a broader scope and the documention can reflect that.
I am trying to help in the muck, but my skill set is not within the code but trying and experimenting ways to help someone. If someone asks if snaps work I can at least say, that they could work but they are not supported, but this is (Btw with supported I mean both TW and MicroOS, as they are not even in the official repo).
I’ve even suggested pattern changes in the beginning to remove certain suggested install packages from my manual. But that was shot down really strongly from you and made me realise my contributions are better with the manual and actually helping people when they have a question on telegram/ matrix and discord than going into discussions with you.
But you accuse me of bullying while you write so-called “official” documentation that puts more work on my shoulders? Please, stop.
I’m not accusing you of being a bully. I said you have a bully attitude toward me and a lot more people who have started to contribute to openSUSE since I’ve started a year ago. A bully can’t really change their ways, but an attitude you can change and by me calling it out I hoped you would see where I’m coming from. Because all I hear is that you think everything you do is right and nobody else can have a say or is even allowed to have a different opinion.
Also do you realise I’m not the first person calling you out on your bully attitude King Richard?
