Reddit Linux bros explaining how a collection of bash scripts which arbitrarily install software in official arch repository instead via random curl | sh scripts or third party package managers is the first ever Linux distribution to work out of the box!!

You know I thought omorachy was just an arch installer with some dot files that was being boosted for political reasons but it’s even worse.
DHH decided that rather then using Pacman instead updates and software install is done via system d controlled bash scripts. Like random programs are installed with different package mangers and some are called via shell scripts pulling binaries.
How can anyone recommend this to beginners?
It’s the peak meme of saving you 10 minutes installing libreoffice and chromium so you can spend hours when the arbitrary ai slop bash scripts fuck up. I’ve never been a fan of these “Linux for noobs” distros like Ubuntu, bazzite, nobara, cachyos etc since they tend to just simplify the easy stuff and then you run into more difficult problems like the team being too small to regularly provide updates from upstream or being so opinionated that attempts at customization break, but this is like next level bad.

because it doesn't look like shit and has the stuff installed that people want

@lain just install your basic apps. I promise you installing chromium via pacman or flathub or dnf or apt is way easier then trying to troubleshoot endless bash scripts.
If you really really want a shit ton of installed software then just use opensuse. That iso is heavyy.
