#4I'm a lot more upset that so many people let Linus Torvalds continue to get away with his abusive attitude still to this day (who just recently called the SFC "pure trash"), than a right-to-repair company that transparently gives money away.

#5They're overpriced, gimmicky laptops anyway. Thought about getting one last month, really glad I noped out now. The only discrete GPU they sell with is woefully underpowered for gfx-intensive operations. You can get a 5090 laptop for less money.. or two functionally identical laptops for about the same price. Lots of people complaining about various issues with them like build quality also. The repairability selling point depends on them staying in business to sell replacement parts. I might consider paying extra if they seemed cool and dependable. But if they're throwing money at unprofessional, bigoted a-holes, forget it.

#6Huge yikes from Framework.
It is OK to separate yourself from a group when you deeply disagree with their actions, no matter how insignificant it might seem to a different group of people.
However, I am glad this happened. New Linux Ambassadors will step up and this issue will be buried into the alternative social media communities such as Mastodon, never to be heard of again.
I disagree that Framework will lose a meaningful amount of business over this.

#8People are extremist on both sides and I'd argue people being upset over this are being more extreme than that.
Never force your opinion upon someone else and nobody will ever dislike you, they might not want to be around you - but they will never dislike you.

#9Rather than "people", it would be more correct to say "some people" are mad at FW.
I'm pro-LGBT+ ("ally"), pro-DEI, ecologist, anything left you name it I'd say, and I'm not mad at FW.
I did not know about this story, neither about Omarchy or DHH, neither even about Hyprland (I don't use Wayland).
And I think that none of those stuff really matter a lot...
