Here's me, 3 years ago, complaining about the exact same bug: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21248799

pretty sad to see that absolutely nothing has changed.

Nothing says Linux like maintainers of a fragmented ecosystem pointing at each other saying it's not up to them to fix something.

To me the interesting/sad bit is that individually, I can see all of their points; the system is set up in such a way that there is nobody whose job it is to cut through the nonsense and keep the user in mind.

No one fixes the bugs because they’re not interesting.

It’s why I’m now a mac user.

I think “not interesting” is an understatement. Making changes in OS project can be downright abysmal - lack of coherent structure, little to guidance, or even hostility toward contributions…

It’s certainly not entirely because of the attractiveness of the problem itself.

Yeah I didn’t want to write a couple of pages of rant on here.

libinput maintainer refuses patches because he doesn't want more settings to be allowed.
