I worry that some people aren’t taking Omarchy seriously enough. It’s not just another Linux distro. It’s a well-orchestrated campaign to centralize power and influence within the Linux FOSS ecosystem. And it’s working.

Anyone paying attention to DHH and what he stands for can see what’s going on here. When the guy who thinks that brown people don’t belong in society hires the guy who thinks trans people shouldn’t exist, you can see where this is going.

@KaiserKitty @neatnik I have no opinion on it yet because I haven't tried it. What I do know is I cannot take the word of linux enthusiasts. I can count on one hand the number of times they've told me correct information about the ecosystem

their platforms do not work despite decades of them insisting they do and I'm just doing it wrong
@RustyCrab @neatnik just look at how it actually works and you can see how stupid this is. People only defend because they are a brand new to Linux Redditor who wowed by fancy ricing.

Omarchy is doing nothing special. Its auto arch install is just like existing ones. You can configure hpyrland yourself. DHH has just automated all of this with fragile shell scripts. There is no special sauce here it’s just simplifying the easy stuff at the cost of having a very opinionated default which is hard to customize. I just personally avoid these one man custom rice distros. Same reason I tell people not to use nobara, you are begging to get screwed when they start making their own opinionated changes.

I think finding a guys shells scripts over the actual packages he’s taking from is retarded and reveals this all as a dumb vanity project.
