    Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn’t matter

      yeah if its a good program you can use it, even if it’s made by horrible people

      one example is templeos. everyone likes it, even if the guy who made it was an asshole

      though hyprland is different since you can donate, but like you said, you can just not donate to them!

      also nice name and pfp

      I disagree. Open source thrives on attention. Install count is like their cocaine.

        Install count isn’t necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in

        Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you’re running.
