Let's keep the discussion on topic and non-personal. In the end, we all want to help and resolve the problems that we have - otherwise we would do something else than being at TMO.

Thanks for a reply - I do understand the trade-offs and we cannot always contribute as much as we would like. I wouldn't mind to have people working professionally on SFOS and its apps. However, I guess, we are not in the position, in terms of the market share, where we can pay for many developers.

In terms of satnav, we are fortunate to have a very hard problem that is solved by professionals in open source manner. This could be not the case for other problematic cases. However, there is a hope that with the movement to Wayland by Linux distros, we may get more coverage through "regular" libs.
