I was unaware that I was agressive: Sorry for any harm that my choice of words may have caused. > What is wrong with saying something like "I will have to look for other > ways of installing it, in order to use the software, as the method I was > hoping for is not available"? What I find wrong is the "have to [...] use [this particular] software". I am not upset about imposing such contraint, and (and stated above) didn't mean to upset anyone by pointing out the constraint either. What I wanted to do was bring attention to alternatives closer to Debian than the use of flatpack. And then immediately after providing such suggestion I wanted to make it clear that I am not inviting further discussion here, regardless if about shifting packaging format or about shifting application. > I bet more people would work on free software if the communication was > more polite. And I might as well argue that your unfriendly 'You might > "prefer"' and telling someone that their polite response is "irrelevant > here" might be in itself an irrelevant response, don't you think? I will not dive into the vast areas of what I don't think. (hint: asking negative questions is passive agressive) Regardless of your tone, I do appreciate your pointing out how my tone can be perceived negatively.
