🧵The other day I learnt that @kde is brewing their own Linux distribution, and it's been living rent-free in my head since. And I think I've come to a conclusion.I am 100% sure that those involved are 100% vested in the idea - but yet, it sits 100% wrong with me.Why? What if GoodYear starts making their own cars? They would tight-fit their tyres to their own cars, not all cars in general. Same if Pirelli starts makeing their own cars.

@kde 🧵(3/?)- until it's in your face and all of a sudden you realize that you perhaps should have voted differently, as all of a sudden everyone is deporting you, GNOME is taking over and you sit in your little corner cowering in fear.And no, I'm not talking about a farmer in the US voting for Trump - but there clearly is an analogy.Wake up and smell the reality. The reality is - you asked the wrong question. It never was "can we do it" or "do we want to do it".

    @kde 🧵(4/4)Leave others to what they do best. Focus your efforts on what matters - there is still a whole lot to do in KDE to make it the best there is. A massive amount of issues to work out in the UI/UX so that drawing in new users doesn't have to be a long walk on broken glass.And the project manager that thought this would be a good idea? Reassign him to making Kcalc better.
