If you don't want to deal with stupid bug reports then you'll have a big problem developing any software that a large group of people interact with.

- kelnos 7y agoYes, but the dynamic changes considerably when you're a one-person team doing it for free in your spare time. Companies that build software can afford to hire dedicated people to deal with particular hardware configurations, and usually make revenue-based decisions on what to support. One-person shops only have what they have. Why does nvidia get the pass here? They've decided not to support the standardized graphics driver interface that Wayland needs to work. They certainly have the money and developers to do so if they wanted to. Presumably they've made a decision not to based on (lack of) expected revenue. Why would you begrudge an unpaid volunteer to make a similar decision about what to support in their own software?
