Hardware vendor Framework has now become a KDE Patron, offering financial support to further push open source like the Plasma desktop.

    I believe so: https://frame.work/blog/framework-sponsorships

    But if so, it is more that they are simply not continuing to make additional contributions in the future. There was no apology for any confusion or anything like that, and they seem to be sticking to their “big tent” philosophy.

      They never gave Omarchy money directly from what I’m aware, just gave them shoutouts. Still not okay though

        Not quite technically “money directly”, but definitely more than just “shoutouts”

        We’ve sent out large quantities of hardware to folks at Fedora, Bluefin, Bazzite, NixOS, Arch Linux, Linux Mint, Omarchy, and many other distros, and have sponsored either the organizations directly or events with Linux Foundation, LVFS, NixOS, Debian, KDE, Hyprland, and others.

        What is wrong with Hyprland?

          A former moderator on their official Discord forum made some offensive remarks or something. That soured the entire project for some people for good, I guess.

            It really takes nothing for people to become eternal haters.

            Yeah, I’ve seen screenshots and their comments were pretty disgusting

              And those comments don’t reflect the views of the devs. The mod was the issue
