This is from one of the videos featured on the omarchy landing page BTW.

alright you tell me if I'm too out there, but

if I was Big Tech, and I saw the open source Linux desktop rise in popularity amongst end users, I would want to keep some control over all that unharvested data userbase. After checking out the recent trends centered around productivity and making everything look so cyberpunk-y popping up on YouTube and on r/unixporn and whatever, I'd want to make a performance and style oriented distro that is easy to install so I'd appeal to a large portion of the new Linux users, especially the ones coming from windows who want something sleek that works instantly

however, the FOSS community doesn't usually take too kindly to unscrupulous companies, so I'd need a friend by my side. Someone that the community already knows so they'll be sure to check it out and give it that first push of visibility it needs...

..enter DHH. he's obviously on the far right of the political spectrum, so he won't need much convincing to work with a company, so long as he gets a piece of the pie (exposure? money? haven't figured that out yet). So he whips out his AI tools, whips up a quick arch iso and after a bit of tweaking you get Omarchy.

this would explain why he just got all this fresh moula. I wouldn't be surprised if amidst all the security issues someone figured out that the whole thing was sending telemetry data to Palantir lmfao.. maybe I'm being paranoid, but I recognize a pattern when I see one

tell me what do y'all think

Its not that I don't like ubuntu, the distro itself is fine, I just preferred every other distro I have tried.

Also, fedora based gaming distros are peak, fight me.

$14.95 million for dotfiles 😭😭😭😭

but honestly? It is completely okay

Just another day in the tech support trenches.

Second spoiler: It says that installing Linux (specifically Omarchy) has been a transformative experience.

Conclusion: They paid him a little bit of those 10M

dhh chud

not a distro

vibecoded slop

bloated

just an arch rice

You have now read every omarchy thread on all the linux subs, you're welcome!

vim.com is the site, am I doing something wrong? I don't see any jeans to buy

Fuck Nixos me and my homies Hate Nixos (i dont like Declaritive Distros)

My personal takes:

User friendliness: Gentoo

Privacy: Ubuntu or Omarchy

Performance: Qubes

Overall worst for desktop: Android???

song name:- Iphone Kupi

dotfiles:- custom + github

I know little about Linux distros. In the past I used Ubuntu and currently using windows. I got bombarded on YouTube with Omarchy videos. Later the Reddit algorithm showed me the posts of this community regarding Omarchy, complaining is just Arch plus other components and a bunch of config files.

Then, can you recommend me an easy installation that gets the same Omarchy feature plus solving your complains regarding security, bloated, etc?
