Hardware vendor Framework has now become a KDE Patron, offering financial support to further push open source like the Plasma desktop.

    I believe so: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships

    But if so, it is more that they are simply not continuing to make additional contributions in the future. There was no apology for any confusion or anything like that, and they seem to be sticking to their “big tent” philosophy.

      They never gave Omarchy money directly from what I’m aware, just gave them shoutouts. Still not okay though

        Not quite technically “money directly”, but definitely more than just “shoutouts”

        We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others.

        What is wrong with Hyprland?

          The creator, Vaxry, made many hateful comments. Mostly on Discord. I’m in the Arch Linux Community discord, which he got banned from a few years ago (I was not there at the time), and his message history there has tons of bad takes.

          A former moderator on their official Discord forum made some offensive remarks or something. That soured the entire project for some people for good, I guess.

            Yeah, I’ve seen screenshots and their comments were pretty disgusting

              And those comments don’t reflect the views of the devs. The mod was the issue

                No, plenty came right out of Vaxry.

                Last I looked they seemed to be trying to do better though. Way lower on the problematic list than anything DHH touches imo.

                Wait, really? The devs don’t share those views?

            It really takes nothing for people to become eternal haters.
