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.

Thanks. A lot of drama then. I’ve been in the discord and on github for a while and from that I can tell vaxry has a bit of a “personality”, as many good developers have. Nothing wrong with that. I like Hyprland a lot, I have been using it daily for 2 years or so and any bugs I reported got fixed really fast. In the end it is a solid project and that’s what really matters.

Let’s hope this thing blows over quickly.

Well, having read his blog for a while Drew DeVault could certainly also be described as "having a bit of a 'personality'". Seems communities tend to form around people who have strong opinions on many things and sometimes those opinions clash. That in itself isn't really an issue though, mostly it becomes more of a problem the larger the scope of opinions discussed becomes as there is more potential for conflict that can not be resolved because it touches on core world view aspects of one or both people involved.

It's extremely important to watch all points referenced, Devault very intentionally picked things that vaxry did to make it sound a lot worse then he is. That's not to say vaxry is a saint, he sure as shit ain't. But he is no where near as bad as drew wants people to believe. Drew has outright lied multiple times in his posts about Vaxry, and what isn't lied abput most of the context is manipulated to make it seem way worse then it is

Oh a real life member of the hyprland community, let's see if the rumors are true.

Well, that's some first-grade bigot apologia. I guess that discord really is bigot central.

Let’s hope this thing blows over quickly.

Is it because your little clubhouse is drawing too much negative attention?

You sound like you would be an awesome addition to any community really. I take it you went all in on this thing?

I’m not picking sides, defending anyone nor do I give a flying fuck about all this drama. I only shared my observations. As long as I can keep using Hyprland I’m happy. And if not, another cool tiling wm will popup. Bye!
