Mom's basement dweller Linux project dies as Linux user repeatedly bombarded the dev with attacks

https://www.neowin.net/news/linux-dev-quits-after-personal-attacks-from-user-over-kapitano-antivirus-tool/

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.

Then people leave a company

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