MKBHD is a tech youtuber (maybe the biggest?) who normally uses a Mac, but he got a Framework 13 Pro with Ubuntu and has been using it for a few weeks now.

Putting aside my opinions about Framework and their nazi-enveloping tent, I think this is good news and could help get more Linux users. North America already has 10% linux market share. If more youtubers keep talking about it, we could see another jump.
And if you have a YouTube account, you can also ask MKBHD to join the fediverse. Now that he’s on Linux, it’s the next logical step!
Can someone kindly explain this part or send a reference? I’ve missed this one.

Tl;dr: they give (gave?) money to omarchy, a DHH project (the RubyOnRails and Basecamp guy) who has made a fairly rapid descent from cringey tech bro to mealy-mouthed nationalist.
Nice, also came here to remind everyone that Framework loves everyone including nazis (which is how you get a fascist country).
The fuck is wrong with framework now then. Nazi what? I have no idea.
Everytime I see a nice new product show up it is nazi this nazi that. Getting fucking tired of it.
Also I seriously doubt the 10% statistic. Id expect it to still be around 3-4%-ish. Stats are probably skewed by AI agents scraping the internet.
I responded to another comment with a more thorough explanation if you’re interested.
But they gave money to Omarchy, DHH project, and he has become extremely right-wing.
huh in what way is he now on Linux? He’s firmly a macOS user.

Edit: whoops, thought we were on the DHH train here. Nevermind me just shitting on shitty people (like DHH).
