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.

Dont want to run your FOSS project professionally and respectfully towards the multitudes of people who may want to work with you? Then dont get upset when people dont want to work with you out of principle.

Good to know which community to avoid if I ever get into Tiling WMs

Really is a good WM though. Thankfully I haven't had to interact with the community yet.

It's pretty normal from what I've seen. A few bunch of edgy onliners that troll general chat but other than that it's alright. Varxy also posts some edgy gay stuff every now and then. If you just stick to the hyprland channels you won't have a problem.

I dont understand what FDO has to do with hyprland but a transphobe is a transphobe. I use hyprland daily and thankfully i dont have to interact with the community as the docs are excellent. But still why the hell do you need to be a dickhead. Also this "marginalizing right-wingers" is so fucking funny to read. Who the fuck is marginalizing you. If i remember right hes polish. That place can be quite the conservative hell-hole(coming from someone who also lived in a conservative hellhole(hungary)).

Nothing directly, but hyprland being a Wayland-only compositor means the project has input on protocols and the general direction of the spec, which is done entirely within the Freedesktop infrastructure. All FDO has said is "we dont want your community or your toxic behaviour to be associated with FDO" which is rightfully so considering their commercial and community obligations.
