Sucks because I was strongly considering Framework for my next laptop. That said, it sounds like they may rethink their sponsorship approach with that bit at the end - they acknowledged the past issues with the Hyprland community but did due diligence, and they plan to involve the community more going forward.

May be empty promises but time will tell.

They're literally just sponsoring one of the biggest wms out there, I don't feel like that's abt framework, rather then hyprland/vaxry

What's the excuse for omarchy? It's completely irrelevant.

I don't like omarchy either, but for several months it was one of the biggest things bringing new users to linux

I rather doubt that.... I wouldn't even know it existed if framework hadn't sponsored it.

I think it was bc it was a simple, easy way to get the cool part of linux ricing without much necessary knowledge of linux. But it was definitely huge for at least several months
