looking at this antheas’ “postmortem”, it seems they are unusually concerned about Bazzite’s marketability as a commercial OS and also with their supposed right to partial ownership of the Bazzite “trademark”. rather weird behavior for an open-source developer. in their own words:
Bazzite’s fate is sealed as a non-commercial hobbyist-like OS.
I sincerely hope so. as the current de-facto pack leader in gaming-focused Linux distros, I would really fucking hate to see the OS monetized in any commercial way. they also recommend people stop donating to Bazzite because “a chunk of those funds will no longer go to me”.
this person not only sounds toxic, but also like they only care about money.

I understood the part about noncommercial as in not a OS that will be preinstalled on commercial handhelds (like those from GPD)
