Mal Umbra, a devoted Linux user, once found joy in a revolutionary open-source project that embodied the spirit of freedom and collaboration. But when the project's leaders began to prioritize ideology over innovation, imposing a rigid orthodoxy on the community, Mal felt a deep sense of betrayal.

His enthusiasm turned to disillusionment, Mal now navigates the digital landscape with a mix of sadness and outrage, his love for the project forever tainted by the bitter taste of disillusionment.
