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.

Yeah, whatever. If you don't like the community, you leave it. Or make your own unofficial community with blackjack and hookers. As simple as that.

why do we need to drop hyprland over the lead dev's views, they are pretty bad, but its an open source project, and I joined the discord server and didn't immediately see any issues. vaxry even made a point of saying that they will accept PRs as long as they are good quality, regardless of personal views.

Who is that guy and why would he have the authority to demand a talk? From the looks of the thumbnail alone he seems to be super full of himself.

"we need to talk" is just a phrase, he's not demanding from anyone
