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.

Agreed. Their discord has been full of inconsiderate jokes and memes for a long time. It's not untypical of many edgy internet communities but it being directly associated with a project isn't a good look.
I definitely wouldn't want to get involved with such a project, altough it is a good piece of software and I don't see their behaviour influencing the popularity of hyprland.
My problem with that is that Vaxry is openly in support of the open racism and transphobia in the discord, and with him also being the lead dev I worry it might possibly affect the development at some point
Yes, with Vaxry being banned from contributing to wlroots, hyprland development won't get easier. At the same time I'd say wlroots and hyprland are largely feature complete, so not being able to contribute might not have a large impact on hyprland.
