The pager operation was definitely the most impressive one I know in modern day.

I wonder what the result would be if the survey were done in EU.

They also sponsored other open source projects, which is good for community. A distro is not good doesnt mean it does not deserve sponsorship

I agree with that sentiment, and I think if framework had been working with several small lower quality distributions to support the overall ecosystem this may not have come across as poorly as it did. Looking at their supported distros they have, officially: Fedora, Ubuntu, Bazzite, and then community: Linux Mint, Arch, Bluefin, and NixOS. Each of these are high quality projects that each fill a niche well and while no longer listed Omarchy stood out as being much less polished than the others.
