You might’ve noticed Framework, the laptop manufacturer, embroiled in a controversy as of now. The Discord server is on lockdown because the volunteer moderation team has gone on hiatus, and the Framework forum post about the controversy has been gaining unsightly amounts of steam from people disappointed at actions taken by Framework.
I genuenly dont understand why a glorified set of dotfiles have recived such an enormous amount of donations and publicity. Not a good set of dotfiles mind you, in fact it looks like subpar compared to the many superior Hyprland dotfiles. Whats even more absurd is that people are saying “this will get people to use Linux”, yeah im sure this is what Linux needs another distro thats slightly different.
Those are the anti-woke crusaders, who think being decent to people gets in the way of literally everything. The creator, DHH, has many blog articles about great replacement theory and how Britain isn’t white enough anymore for his tastes.
Was sad to see Primagen put out a video praising Omarchy this week, but maybe he doesn’t know yet? Or maybe he does, I have no idea.
Primeagen has interviewed DHH at least twice over the past 2 years, in hour+ videos posted to his YouTube channel. Including one where DHH goes unprompted into a pro-natalism rant.
Primeagen also just spent a week with some other creators working on a video game, sponsored by Cursor and on Framework desktops running Omarchy.
He is either sympathetic or apathetic to these issues - certainly doesn’t seem to care about being decent to those not of his tribe.
