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.

Good to know which community to avoid if I ever get into Tiling WMs
Really is a good WM though. Thankfully I haven't had to interact with the community yet.
It's pretty normal from what I've seen. A few bunch of edgy onliners that troll general chat but other than that it's alright. Varxy also posts some edgy gay stuff every now and then. If you just stick to the hyprland channels you won't have a problem.
Looks like there's plenty of ground and from what I read about vaxry, they seem to be a bigot at best and a cryptofash at worst.
That's because he is increadibly bias and is presenting "facts" in the worst possible light by manipulating context. The references they have are bias at best https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandsCommunity
for instance the pronouns thing. https://blog.vaxry.net/resource/articleDrew/pic1.png
For another instance of how people are using willful ignorance to attack vaxry, look no further then the recent email
https://blog.vaxry.net/resource/articleFDO/LyudeMails.pdf from https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-fdo-and-redhat
Vaxry got warned for these.
Back to drews garbage, he quotes the podcast clearly hoping people don't watch it, youtube link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nskemNa_Kn4 , full link is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ic1zzb_xl4
The whole "not as bad as calling someone the n-word thing" yes vaxry did say that, but he also said, before and after, that yes it was unprofessional behavior, and that it's not allowed anymore. Something drew very conveniently left out
This is some of the most malicious ways of relaying what Vaxry talked about. Just listen to it yourself https://youtu.be/nskemNa_Kn4?t=730
Perhaps not worth much, but my interpetation of it had nothing to do with racism as devault so heavily implies here, It as he said is about the attitude.
I highly reccomend watching the content and replies, because drew's entire thing is based on taking various things out of context
