I use Obtainium (available in F-Droid) alongside F-Droid since both have auto-updates
this is still tolerable to the old days of updating manually

biggest upside is I can update Tubular/Newpipe faster via Obtainium while F-Droids build system takes days

easier to use and more stable.

the difference is that the folder/package structure for other package manager is open and well known
everyone can host their own i.e. apt, pacman or Flatpak repository with little effort

the required folder/package structure for snaps is no longer open and you cannot change the default snap repository either easily

thats a big hit for non-commercial laser cutting enthusiasts
Between Visicut and Lightburn, the later was miles away even with its quirks and testing all sorts of stuff with boxes.py was a lot of fun

bummer

Including the xone kernel driver for proprietary Xbox dongles is quite nice
(you can connect Xbox gamepads via bluetooth but that will often times give you a higher input lag for Xbox pads anyway)

the work amount of backporting fixes which ARE already fixed in newer versions is also insane

thats one of the reason why Arch Linux sticks to stable upstream versions, backporting is just not feasable on smaller teams

there is good hint of xenophobia in your comment
you probably need to meet some people foreign of your country and learn they are humans just like you

It will also allow us to sped less money supporting people here, and do much more for them in their own home countries.

tax rich people/companies
these are taking your money away for a good cause for everyone
