Reflecting on why am I doing this?
I know that I need to have a thick skin, not be bothered by complaining posts on the forum, but sometimes I do get annoyed.
People are getting EasyOS for free, developed by one developer for no
monetary remuneration, in his spare time, yet, they make demands that
the developer should do their bidding.
It happens quite regularly. For example, someone recently
complaining, quite hotly, that I wasn't responding adequately to
their questions. I was responding, but not to their satisfaction.
Sigh... I could just tell them to get stuffed, and close down the EasyOS project.
But then, those selfish people are the exception. There are a lot of
great guys using EasyOS, who understand that it is experimental, a
one-person project, and appreciate the effort put into it.
Actually, what prompted this blog post is this forum post today:
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=8132
In my case, if it was "just about the developer", then I wouldn't even bother to publish releases, just use EasyOS for myself.
That was the main reason that I put the woofQ project onto github, so
someone else could take it up if they wish. And very recently have
enhanced woofQ so that it can build a EasyOS-derivative distro with any
name that the developer wants -- that still has to be tested, and a few
more tweaks required.
Don't like to be negative. This post is an exception, just the mood I'm in right now.
