Actually they have a device support page: https://asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support
I can't imagine then what's his problem. I don't get offended by people that can't even read. I don't normally call them people let alone entitled :\ Set up a bot that links them the device support page, and problem solved? I don't get it

I think that might be the problem.
It's comments like these that causes people to wear out.

No it isn't. You - fundamentally - don't get to control what people say to you. You need to filter how to take that. And that's incredibly hard. Especially in open source. You need to both be able to ignore (some version of "idiots, who can't be bothered to read") and be openminded enough to take weird requests, because they could be the starting point of a new major contributor. The second is optional, as long as you are happy just doing your thing, but then the former probably won't become a problem for you.

I'm know it's pretty pointless to argue because we see the world in a different way. But realize the (quoted) requirements are you putting on the open source developer.
A developer without these skills will burn out.

It is the need of personal gratification and having a public and active online persona that makes hobby devs wear out from other users feedback.
You don't get negative feedback if you don't open communications channels for that.

This some next level philosophy pondering, thanks.
