I don’t know how it is today, but he wasn’t very fond of Linux back when he started working on Duckstation. Basically saying that the emulator was made for Windows and if you had problems with it on Linux, you were on your own. And the jabs to the Linux “world” were constant in that Discord server.
Everybody can have their own opinion, obviously. I’m just saying that this doesn’t caught me by surprise.
In the PR he says that he doesn’t personally use Linux and that maintaining support is a hassle because he doesn’t use it. So he doesn’t want to support different Linuxes flavors (like Wayland) that are broken in themselves
And TBH I understand him, developing for a platform you don’t use is a hassle, be it Windows or Linux, but Linux just have so much fragmentation on top of it
