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.

In regard to Hyprland and Fascism (drewdevault.com)

Like y'all keep posting about it, praising it, giving it free advertisement, and what not.

But the dev is a fascist, the discord server is a fascist bar, and the project thus is fascist.

I've met people who were harassed, I browsed through now deleted messages of Vaxry using slurrs and more.

So I wonder is if the people who post constantly about it know and are complicit, or just don't know and would act otherwise?

It gets tiring to see the project be given "fame" when I know the roots of the plants are founded in toxicity & abuse.

preference is s weak motivation honestly. i prefer google maps yet i still don't want google and make do with OSM

I'm simply interested in having control over my PC

but you don't, you still depend on vaxry. can you maintain, update, fix and recompile hyprland yourself? if so, fork it and start boycotting vaxry. if not, what control are you talking about? it's just preference

this whole argument to me sounds like "i prefer a WM with smooth animations and an active discord so im going to overlook the problematic maintainer im going to give clout to and start depending on"

Do you see the important difference between your example of preference and mine? My preference is a specific set of features, yours is a specific product.

fork it

Hah, I felt I already poked a dozen holes in that position. If you'd like to actually back up your position, I welcome it.

and an active discord

You keep bringing up their discord like that's relevant to me. It's not.

Yeah, I'm fully convinced you didn't read my previous comment. For the record, I'm not downvoting you because I disagree with you, I think it's valid to criticize others in the community for their behaviour, and I respect that. I'm going to downvote you because you're not contributing to the discussion.
