alt Hacker NewsI bought a Framework 13 because I wanted to send a signal to the industry that there was a market for repairable devices with good Linux support.
I also wouldn't be buying anything from them in the future one because supporting a certain individual developer, DHH, who holds political opinions incompatible with my existence very easily makes the "buying Framework for political reasons" bit moot. Their CEO avoiding the issue and throwing a red herring (Hyprland) into the discussion didn't help either.
I know I'm certainly not the only one who feels this way.
I feel the same.
When I learned that Framework started sponsoring DHH's distro, my immediate thought was that I'm not going to buy anything from them ever again.
On the other hand, you can boycott only so many companies before you start boycotting yourself out of existence. One has to draw the line somewhere.
I just hope Framework is going to come to its senses and eventually stop supporting distros that are controlled by an openly racist individual.
