I believe it's more about money ending up in an overhyped vibecoded Bash mess maintained by a very controversial figure. And that's putting it mildly.

Hyperland being funded for 3 years benefits all distros and users that rely on it. The same goes for Quickshell. And my guess is that this is only the beginning. They will support any project that Omarchy is built on. They even reached out to AUR maintainers to support them financially and build better, more stable infrastructure for any distro that depends on AUR, but they refused.

One controversial project supporting another controversial project. Wonder how and why that happened.

I am inclined to believe everyone sane will distance themselves from it. Just like GNOME did.

Because it doesn't seem to be actually going to FOSS

You're going to have to clarify that rather bold statement.

You see

https://git.outfoxxed.me/quickshell/quickshell (GNU LGPL 3)

https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland (BSD)

https://github.com/jdx/mise (MIT)

are not really foss

It’s who the money is going to in FOSS.
