  • It’s fairly bare bones in all honesty. It does sum up initial searches fairly well but beyond that you’re not going to get much, if anything, out of it. Asking it follow up questions regarding a search is more miss than hit.

    It has provided me decent initial results when I’m searching for some random linux question/solution but clarifying or expanding on initial results is useless.







  • It’d be one thing if the projects being supported were good and lead by devs with questionable ideals but I’m more upset that Framework decided to support a couple of really shitty projects lead by shitty people. I mean one dudes dotfiles and anothers very buggy WM that you can pay $5 to get “premium” for it? Cool Framework, that doesn’t give me a whole lot of confidence in what YOU produce now.

    I mean hell I got some killer dotfiles for Arch using River and Sway, where’s my money?


  • That’s a really piss poor excuse though. It’d be one thing if it was “I like Hyprland, I’ll support that” but then it’s also “I also like Omarchy” annnnd now you’re starting a trend that isn’t a great on to start. THEN you have people in the know who see this trend and being to put two and two together.

    Saying that Framework is tiny with no PR is no excuse. It takes all of a few minutes to discover what kind of piece of shit DHH is and what kind of bullshit the devs/mods over on Hyprland spew out. I mean I’ve been a developer for 20+ years now and I knew DHH was a piece of shit years ago. Hell anyone that’s spent any time with Ruby knew he was a piece of shit years ago.

    honestly if you had a bit of extra money on you that you wanted to donate to a charity you would utilize your common sense and research said charity before donating money right? I would hope so. I hope a lot of people would. That’s what I do. I’m not going to throw money at some random charity then I later find out uses kittens as toilet paper.

    So Framework coming out and saying “yeah we like to support open source projects, sure the ones we support are lead by racist homo/transphobes and a guy that thought Hitler had some neat ideas, no we’re not going to discuss it” is not a great look.


  • I don’t use Hyprland (honestly it’s still a buggy mess and the $5 a month for “hyprland premium” is a joke), I won’t ever use Omarchy (I already know how to install Arch), and I guess I just won’t use Framework anymore. That’s it.

    If other people want to use that crap and support it? sure, have at it. I won’t lose sleep over it. I would much rather people stop hailing these things as the greatest achievements in FOSS and Linux when they’re clearly not. I mean christ on a cracker people are treating Omarchy like it’s the second coming and it’s just an Arch installer with hyprland, a bunch of cherry picked applications and a fancy TUI styler. that’s it.

    Oh wait, sorry, Omarchy also has a hyrpland keybind set to open X/Twitter for you…groundbreaking.
