    i’ve been on Linux for over 2 years and have wanted to file a big report many times, but the process is intimidating - looked like learning an entire project or new software. FOSS is not easy usually. The best luck i’ve ever had was offering to test a new markdown software out and emailing the dev with screen shots - using Flameshot to circle the things i wanted him to see.He made many improvements based on my feedback. If he’d made me fill out a lengthy bug report - especially one unique to his software/project, I wouldn’t have done it.
