From where I'm standing your cause was right, but how the team went about it was too aggro to be productive.
Your core ask was to get people to stop giving you outdated bugreports. Framing that as a problem to solve together would've gotten further here imo. That still would've ended up at the "But Debian" part of the convo, but there you could've made a decent number of arguments for them to take care of it that they would have more likely listened to.

@Isofruit@mastodon.social I did draft up a decent amount of arguments and explanations as to why Debian and Ubuntu users (and those distros' packaging behavior, in this particular case) are not a problem in practice compared to Mint, but unfortunately the thread was locked before I could reply and therefore GitLab discarded my draft 🫥
