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.

The what now😐
Hyprland has a right-wing reactionary community surrounding it. For instance, on their Discord a trans person had their username's pronouns changed to (who/cares) by a moderator after being upset that they were misgendered.
Hyprland is a right-wing community, because a sole moderator is being a dick to the trans community? Am I reading that correctly? Must be missing some context
I’ve been using Hyprland for a couple of years now. Not really interacted with the community(discord) a great deal but when I have I’ve not seen anything like that previous incident.
