Framework Computer Now Sponsoring LVFS / Fwupd Development (www.phoronix.com)

With the Linux Vendor Firmware Service serving more than 135 million downloads for Linux users updating their system and device firmware, LVFS has been working to get more hardware vendors to contribute either engineering resources or directly contributing annual dues as sponsors. Framework Computer is now the first one to have executed an agreement under these new sponsorship efforts.

Red Hat in employing lead developer Richard Hughes has contributed the most to LVFS/Fwupd's success, the Linux Foundation has also hosted the project since it has shifted into their umbrella, AMD's Mario Limonciello is among the significant contributors, and now Framework Computer is a new sponsor to the project.

Cool, but I don't care how big Framework makes their tent. They will not see a cent from me.

So you won't buy the most user maintainable and repairable laptop, that also comes with Linux and probably worth open source firmware in the not too distant future because you don't like the politics of the owner of an open source project the company supports?

That really feels like cutting off your nose to spite your face

I mean, when the political stance of the supported company is "I would literally murder you of I could" the politics become kinda relevant 🥲

Is that some hyperbole? Or is there a source to that? I'm out of the loop*, so apologies for my ignorance.

Yes... But sadly no? First example that comes to mind, you can check "dhh blog" on the internet (🤮) and if you read enough you will get to see the kind of person he is... You can also check this about Hyprland: https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html
