I understand that developers don’t always have time or interest to fix my problems (specially with FOSS projects), but this just feels like rubbing it in my face. Just close the issue after initial assessment if it looks like a non-fixable and low priority.

“See this is how much we care, we even have a bot to remind you that we are still ignoring you”

Well that looks cool. I just hope I would have use for such device.

I wonder how they plan to keep updating this Mechanix OS after initial sales slow down

Have you tried firefox containers? It’s a bit clunky but it should do just that
