This will sound harsh, but you got downvoted for posting a random link to a github page without any explanation of what it was or why anyone might be interested in it.

Try a little bit more effort next time maybe.

What is your realistic suggestion on how they should react? If it involves them dying, or losing their jobs and healthcare? Would you be willing to risk those as an individual?

You call them cowards, but don’t give any meaningful suggestions on what they could realistically do.

I've been using Tumbleweed for almost a year now, and have had a great experience! Zypper is fine; cnf is a helpful utility that things like Debian / Fedora could certainly use (I know they have ways of searching too, but cnf is so simple).

OPI has everything I've needed for 3rd party apps, so no complaints there.

When I first installed Tumbleweed it was on an HP Elitebook, which gave me some grief with audio before I figured out a workaround, but after installing it on an X1 Carbon I can't imagine using anything else for the foreseeable future. (It's still installed on the Elitebook, I just never power it on any longer).

All this to say, your experience hasn't been great for you but for me it's been fantastic. I run Debian on the self-hosted servers I run, but on my main machine Tumbleweed has been fantastic for me. I don't even use or like YaST :D

I find your comment is a bit off-putting as well - how would you respond if I said 'NEVER USE ARCH'? My take is - tell people about your experiences, and let them decide for themselves. Why are you still using Tumbleweed if you're 'so against it'?

It would help saying what province you're in since selection will vary wildly.

If you can, check out Ungava gin. It's a good price and made in Quebec.

I got the Air simply because of the titanium frame. I dont use a case, and don't care about the camera at all. My use case is very simple as well.

If either the Pro or non-Pro models had titanium I would have gotten one of those instead.
