MKBHD is a tech youtuber (maybe the biggest?) who normally uses a Mac, but he got a Framework 13 Pro with Ubuntu and has been using it for a few weeks now.

Putting aside my opinions about Framework and their nazi-enveloping tent, I think this is good news and could help get more Linux users. North America already has 10% linux market share. If more youtubers keep talking about it, we could see another jump.

And if you have a YouTube account, you can also ask MKBHD to join the fediverse. Now that he's on Linux, it's the next logical step!

Huh what about nazis? I knew Linus had a lot of money invested

Framework and their nazi-enveloping tent

Can someone kindly explain this part or send a reference? I’ve missed this one.

Tl;dr: they give (gave?) money to omarchy, a DHH project (the RubyOnRails and Basecamp guy) who has made a fairly rapid descent from cringey tech bro to mealy-mouthed nationalist.

Edit: whoops, thought we were on the DHH train here. Nevermind me just shitting on shitty people (like DHH).

The fuck is wrong with framework now then. Nazi what? I have no idea.

Everytime I see a nice new product show up it is nazi this nazi that. Getting fucking tired of it.

Also I seriously doubt the 10% statistic. Id expect it to still be around 3-4%-ish. Stats are probably skewed by AI agents scraping the internet.

I responded to another comment with a more thorough explanation if you're interested.

But they gave money to Omarchy, DHH project, and he has become extremely right-wing.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 2 points 16 hours ago

I think they gave him a Framework laptop so that he could ensure Omarchy works well on it, not money, right?

Nice, also came here to remind everyone that Framework loves everyone including nazis (which is how you get a fascist country).
