Linux dev quits after "personal attacks" from user over antivirus tool

9 months ago

Kapitano was a Linux GUI frontend for ClamAV, providing a modern interface for virus scanning.
The project was marked 'Not Maintained' after the developer faced personal attacks from a user.
A user accused Kapitano of generating false positives, leading to a heated exchange.
The developer clarified that Kapitano was just a wrapper for ClamAV and not responsible for false positives.
The developer decided to stop maintaining the project due to the negative experience and released the code into the public domain.
Kapitano will be delisted from Flathub, and the repository will be deleted after a few months.
