Six days ago, upgradeable laptop maker Framework tried to convince its fractious user community to live in a "big tent" after a Debian developer objected to the company's sponsorship of Hyprland and its social media promotion of Omarchy, with both projects associated with politically polarizing viewpoints.

Antoine Beaupré, aka anarcat, demanded that Framework clarify its political position with regard to these two projects.

Hyprland, a Wayland compositor, is led by a "toxic and hateful community," Beaupré observed, and Omarchy, a Linux distribution, comes from David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH), a controversial figure in the Ruby and Linux communities.

There's a scene in The Good Place where they find nobody goes to heaven anymore because every act they do, no matter how much they're trying to do good, has a lot of negative baggage attached which nobody could track and that counts as a sin of the person anyway.

DHH is such a shit heel.

Here‘s my take as a relatively tech savvy guy with no introspective into the Linux scene and its political affiliation: I’ll buy framework products because of the repairability and upgradability as long as I can run whatever I want on it.

Most consumers that are sustainability minded (like myself) have no clue what hyprland or omarchy is.

I’m sure it’s a big deal within a small niche but the average consumer won’t know or care.

I would agree if they weren't FUNDING Nazis. That's coming out of the cost of your laptop buddy
