OpenSUSE package maintainer removes Bottles’ donation button with "dont-support.patch" file

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Actively resisting packaging is not the way, tho. You can just require an issue to be reproducible with flatpak, and otherwise tell ppl to bother the maintainer.
That's a lot if communication for someone that's working for free.
That's a disclaimer in the bug submission page.
Which everyone will ignore.
They take donations, that's not free.
As a guy who worked in OS security, no fucking way will I be doing that.
So, basically, you make software that doesn't work outside flatpak without patches, then start removed about how much those patches suck, then, instead of pretty much saying "we only support flapaks, stop bothering us with distro-related issues" on the issue page, you add even more stuff that needs to be patched out because "sesurity"? Makes perfect sense, ngl.
