In case you haven’t heard the news, Framework went and publicly sponsored Hyprland (the most toxic part of Wayland by a country mile) and openly shilled Omarchy multiple times (the pet project of fascist shithead David Heinemeier Hansson) recently.

In response to well-justified backlash against this, founder Nirav Patel responded with FOSSbro platitudes about “[creating] a big tent" for open source”.

If you’ve got any more updates on this self-inflicted shitshow, put them here so they can be collected in one place.

(In retrospect, that AI-pilled Framework Desktop should’ve been a major red flag they were gonna pull this shit.)

EDIT: Found a solid summary of the situation in the wild - recommend checking it out.

    I feel like like I’ve seen the phrase “hyprland is the most toxic part of Wayland” more than once now and I’m not sure why it’s being phrased that way. Hyprland is not part of wayland, right?

      you’ve seen it from me as “the most toxic part of the Wayland ecosystem, and that’s saying something”

      Yeah I think this is hyperbole. I’ll retract this if proven otherwise but supporting douches is not supporting fascism. It deteriorates and normalises the accusation by calling it so.
