but how kde devs unfamiliarity with rpm relates to fedora kernel support?

Its much easier to develop KDE on a system that doesn't have an overcomplicated/engineered package manager like RPM.

if you can't find something, it can be your fault https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/

This is nothing like AUR, its also much smaller. None of the packages I am interested in are there.

If you want an idea of what AUR is like, have a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/d...ss-extras-bin/. Anyone can easily make a package, and people apply diffs whenever upsream packages break or there is some other problem. You even have tools like yay https://github.com/Jguer/yay which scans the diffs for a packages and lets you review and apply them before building.

"overcomplicated" often means "i don't understand your usecase"

i didn't try to measure it and i can't comment on your package needs, but you started with claim that it doesn't even exist, which is demonstrably wrong

Anyone can easily make a package

i can't speak for anyone, but i certainly can make rpm package.
still, how all of this relates to kernel support?

No technically speaking it is definitely more complicated than AUR, thats a fact. Have a look at how makepkg works, the installation scripts are also basic shell files

i didn't try to measure it and i can't comment on your package needs, but you started with claim that it doesn't even exist, which is demonstrably wrong

No I said nothing like AUR exists on Fedora, and considering that it has none of the packages I am looking for then yes

i can't speak for anyone, but i certainly can make rpm package.

Of course you can make RPM packages, its not like RPM packages don't exist. The point is that with AUR its a lot easily to hack/modify a package, there is a reason why it has such a massive repository. I mean fedoraincloud link you posted earlier, its difficult to see how the package is even built. For example in AUR, if you want to see how a package is actually built you just click on "VIEW PKGBUILD" and the builds are clearly readable/understable (i.e. see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.g...dia-driver-git for a reference).

still, how all of this relates to kernel support?

The point is I wouldn't be surprised why Valve picked Arch, its a much better distro for development. Its not just about the Linux kernel
