Hardware vendor Framework has now become a KDE Patron, offering financial support to further push open source like the Plasma desktop.

    In this thread: perfect being the enemy of better.

    Overall I am very happy with companies interacting with and funding the open source development community. I respect framework a whole lot more than dell, for example.

      Or the other manufacturer of high quality aluminium dev-spec laptops, who sent their CEO to the White House to give Trump a golden plaque.

            Ah, OK, thanks. Now I remember I’ve seen some ridiculous photo of Orange man with golden plaque. Thought it was a joke/meme/AI slop, turns out it’s real, lol.

          As others have commented, Apple … but also when was the last time HP was a manufacturer of quality anything? 😭

              Once upon a time, HP and quality were synonymous.

              https://www.hpmuseum.net/exhibit.php?class=3&cat=32

              (Edit: Though apparently the 3000 had some issues early on. Which were notable because reliability and quality issues were so non-HP).

              It was … quite a while ago though. By the time I came to use HP gear in the late 90s and on, they still had a reputation for quality, though it was increasingly less deserved.
