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.

Reminder that the Hyprland community is full of racist and anti lgbt fucks and no one should support them

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interesting, do you only use software from "good people"? Like X (twitter), Brave Browser and oh, obviously Lemmy itself?

I mean, I use hyprland because it's f*cking awesome, I never heard about how bad their devs are, I only check these stuff if I consider to "donate a coffee" for the devs. And I never tossed a coin for hyprland.

Why shouldn't I use it?

he never said you shouldn't use it, just that you shouldn't support them

using it isn't supporting them.

It's not like I don't believe you, but would you mind providing some sources? It's outside my bubble I guess, I was only able to find some vaxry drama.

And before you dismiss this as Drew's rambling, I would trust him any day than any of the hyprland devs.

I mean, sure its a problem, but it seems to be largely just about the one occurance of the problem.

Otherwise it seems like the bulk of the post and vaxrys response to that post are about how it was handled and idk if I would have handled it better if I was in that sort of situation.

When I went into the community briefly both on github and discord I was met with immense help to my problems with hyprland (which I now don't use just because I realized I didn't need to mess with window management)

If I recall vaxry is young and has some social nuance to learn, this doesn't excuse behaviors but I can choose to accept a solid attempt at handling a wrongdoing.

marginalized people don't owe anyone forgiveness, but we frustratingly live in a world where people aren't allowed to unlearn bigotry either

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

It is easier for marginalized people to point the flaws out and forget about it but I think it makes more sense to try to meet it with understanding and then moving on.

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We didn't read the same article, clearly.

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That is what combining multiple perspectives will do :)

[–] chloroken@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You misunderstood the article. I was being charitable.

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Hmm I don't think I did, I think I am allowed to have a different perspective.

[–] LydiaChlamydia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

It’s free an open source, It’s not really supporting the community by using it

[–] mactan@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

I have bad news about stallman and well, everything derived from his work therefore

[–] BoneALisa@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is unbeleivably frustrating because AFAICT this is the best Wayland TWM out there, I've been using it for about a year now and it's really good 😅. Have any recs on a feature competative option that isn't run by bigots?

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sway has been super solid since before Hyprland even existed.

[–] sping@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

Different usage model isn't it? Sway's mostly manual while hyprland is more dynamic with a focus on eye candy.

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 week ago

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Give it a rest.
