This Wayland is looking more jewish every day, just like systemd. Divide and conquer (The irony of Lunduke being a jew is not lost on me here, wink wink.)

The reason? He’s fed up with Arch users who “use broken packages and keep complaining to me instead of their packager.”

“I specifically forbid packages for DuckStation.”

The developer also says Linux support may be dropped entirely.

“Next step will be removing Linux support entirely, because I'm sick of the headaches and hacks.”

What hacks and headaches, specifically, is he tired of?

“Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.”

Now, you may say, “Well fine! We’ll just fork DuckStation!”

Aha. Not so fast.

Linux needs a visionary who will say, “Fuck your limitless customization. This distro just works.” And then does the necessary steps to make it robust and compatible.

Linux is proof that democracy is dogshit and that monarchies are the only way to go.

People turn to Valve with this hungery look in their eyes. Which I will argue is just as bad, since Valve begins and ends at launching windows games. Nothing more, nothing less.

Linux is a very fragmented society of loosely connected fiefdoms. It's never going to go anywhere for reals unless that fragmentation gets fixed. I don't blame the guy, trying to work in a broken environment is difficult at best.

Methinks the fragmentation is something certain (cough, MS, cough) people love to see and actively encourage. (Not that an infestation of needlessly opinionated neckbeards helps any...)

Are you trying to say there's outside forces? Nooooooooooooooooo couldn't be. No sir. None at all. Nope.
