@Lyude @mairacanal @lina @desttinghim Frankly, I'm a bit insulted that the assumption was that I don't know anything about the Linux kernel community. I've been a known quantity in that area for almost a decade, and I've been heavily engaged in several areas over the last couple of years thanks to the Asahi Linux project.

What's frustrating is that this is a problem even when I engage with kernel developers who *already know* I have some know-how, but don't care and ignore my feedback anyway.

@Conan_Kudo @mairacanal @lina @desttinghim I get that. honestly - it's wild how just about every time I talk about a subject like this people assume the same thing. It's incredibly rare for me to see someone disagree with statements I make like "people should behave" and not follow it up with some sort of assertion I'm new to this and simply Do Not Understand Complicated Kernel Development.

@Conan_Kudo @Lyude @lina @desttinghim I don't think anyone had the intention to say that you don't have any knowledge about the kernel community. At least, on my side, I was just trying to say that we shouldn't generalize our personal experience and also, we usually have a hard time building constructive feedback when we say that the other part doesn't want to hear.

We need to improve our community, but just pointing everything we do wrong makes it harder to open space for positive outcomes.
