In a way its understandable: It looks flashy, “hackery” and is a complete departure from the Windows or Mac GUI which avoids an “uncanny valley” of usability. Also it is pretty easy to install (i would argue, even more easy than many mainstream distributions), couple that with the positive PR that it got by some Youtube people and you have a road to success for this distro.
they sponsored Omarchy and Hyprland. one a glorified dotfiles arch “distro” built by DHH who is pretty much a fascist and Hyprland a buggy neon mess of a WM built by a transphobic fascist.
So yeah, they’re not having a good time right now.
because they’re built by individuals who are those things. that’s the controversy. that’s it.
the whole thing is people are upset that Framework sponsored those things because they don’t like paying Framework for their machines who in turn then give money to people they feel are facists.
To me they give to a project that have individual that hold controversial opinion rather than to a controversial individual but I can understand the logic.
But tbh I would rather be pissed that a company would finnanve other while they sell their stuff for a premium price
Political drama ?
I think he’s referring to framework financially supporting omarchy and hyprland.
Yeah omarchy being successful kinda depress me

Last I poked at it, it had no Live environment. I really how it got so popular if people can’t even try it before wiping their machine. VMs?
Why? Just ride the lightning and live the hacker lifestyle!
(Just kidding… perhaps those people have an image of their Windows installation on some external HDD)

If the individual is the only one in charge of the project, and controls the money, there really isnt a difference.
