    1. Instead of wasting time on something that has already 1k iterations, they could redirect that effort on something beneficial to Linux.

    2. Any person contributing to this new installer is a person less contributing to something distro agnostic, which is a loss for everyone.

        Never used arch but I share the same feeling for distro sometimes. A linux distro can either:

        • Introduce a new way of doing things, or some big novelty
        • Being a complete waste of time and effort The vast majority is the second case, but sometimes we are lucky and we get something new.

      Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.

      The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.

      If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.
