So you tried to shit on developers by posting a link to a completely reasonable request ("theming is fine but please be mindful of wasting our limited time by bombarding us with bug reports related to janky themes") that you hadn't even read. Got it.

People need to understand that none of this development is free. These people donate their time to make these projects for us to have, completely free of charge. Investigating a bug can take hours, or days, sometimes longer. Imagine doing that and it turns out there wasn't a bug with your program at all, it was with a theme that the user installed. I'd also be pissed off about the time I'm donating for the good of the community being wasted.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
