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.

I don't really care, the Lemmy devs also got some funky political opinions but I'm still here
at the end of the day software is software and this stuff is all free and open source anyway
Fr, you can disagree with someone and still make use of the software they create. Especially because you're not even directly supporting them monetarily.
Great, yeah, both sides are the same huh? Grow a spine.
Nobody said both sides are the same. Grow a spine
The software itself does not harm anyone, considering it is free software and nobody has to contribute money to use it, i don't care. If you feel so outraged by it, fork the software and develop your own version. At least with free software you have that option, as opposed to proprietary software where you have no option.
I'm not using Hyperland personally, but i'm not opposed to people using it.
I'd rather not get banned from this community by arguing that.
At any rate that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the political views don't matter, the software does and its great
Luckily there's programming.dev which I hope will be the go to lemmy for programming
Too bad it's American.
Oh :/
lemmy is not a great comparison, there's like 3 alternatives, there are tens if not more hyprland alternatives.
i don't think software is just software, why would this tech be exempt? pilot-less aircrafts is just tech, just like software, but we do remember that drones bomb people. supporting problematic developers is not "as bad" as building killing machines, but it's the same principle: looking the other way when it's convenient. we should aim to ostracize and isolate problematic devs, and it starts by not using their software, because doing so gives them clout and relevance
What other well supported wayland tiled window managers are out there with smooth animations? I would check them out for sure, but I only know about hyprland.
I've heard of SwayFX, but it's pretty niche and I doubt it comes close to the featureset of Hyprland
