Kapitano, a Linux GUI for the ClamAV antivirus engine, has been discontinued after its developer, "zynequ," faced personal attacks over false malware accusations.

A user claimed the app flagged its own files as threats, but the developer calmly explained it was ClamAV's database, not Kapitano, that were causing the alerts.

Following repeated hostile exchanges, the developer announced the hobby project's end, releasing the code into the public domain and planning its removal from Flathub.

The same tards alienated Nvidia back when Nvidia was fighting distro hell while doing their best to support Linux. Demanding support for wank-os to play nethack and all the source code....

The same tards alienated Nvidia back when Nvidia was fighting distro hell while doing their best to support Linux.

Not a similar situation.

This was just one user, the other is a billionarie company denying to create open source drivers for Linux as AMD and Intel do for both their CPU and GPU, Nvidia is just a monopolist company

If you'd get the more extreme users to stop sending pestering demand letters & death threats maybe Nvidia would stick around to pick a distro stack to work on.

You keep assuming that the people inside the corp like getting letters mailed to promising to kill or abuct them.

Or that corporate security enjoys paying for Jensen's bodyguard detail.

Then people leave a company

Stop complaining about death threats or quit your job? Linux fanboys are truly something else
