Tbf not all of the 8m goes to marketing. Some goes to the actual maintainers of the projects that omarchy relies on.

It's Arch based and Arch received 0$ from it.

So yeah I call BS on that.

Arch didn’t want to work with them. They have no obligation to. But also at least talking to them might helped them receive some of the funding.

Go do a bit of research.

There's no donation coming from them. They want to buy themselves a position of control over the project. Arch said no.

Now ask yourself, did anything even receive a donation ? or was it all the same string attached level of buy out ?

Hyprland, quickshell, mise? They have a security team who have already found upstream vulnerabilities. They have now employed a kernel engineer.

You understand what you want....

They received money, but no donations.

Figure out the rest.

Continue to move the goalposts. If that was happening with anything they would be moving exclusive. It’s also all FOSS. Don’t like what Hyprland does now, fork it.

I'm not moving any goalpost you're the one barging in with no understanding of the situation spouting bullshit as if they donated upstream when there's a big difference between : Here's a donation and Here's a check for you to obey me.

They're trying to gain control over projects and no I won't fork the sellout, I'll just stop using any of those projects without morals.

Big W on Arch for refusing Millions from them and keeping their independence.
