Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”. Separately, but on the ...

Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @Khrys@mamot.fr (French speaking)

The gist of the issue raised by OP is that framework sponsors and promotes projects lead by known toxic and racists people (DHH among them).

I agree with the point made by the OP :

The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others.

I’m disappointed in framework’s answer so far

    And here, they are donating for a project by DHH, because they like the project

    Said project is an Arch installer with some extra packages thrown in by default, not exactly groundbreaking stuff.

      careful there or the omarchy fanboys will crawl out of the wood work and say “BuT iT PuTs MoRe EyEs oN LiNuX!”

      yeah bud, an Arch Installer with hyprland and a bunch of crappy software with a ripped off fancy config tui is apparently the second coming.

      exactly the same as 90% of distros, bazzite is Fedora Atomic with some stuff on top and marketing

      same for manjaro, endeavour, zorin, and the entirety of linux

      fork away, add what you like, remove what you don’t, publish?

      I’m not saying omarchy is ground-breaking, but most linux distros aren’t too
