I'm so fucking sick of this shit called omarchy. It's literally everywhere related to Linux: in my mastodon feed, in my Lemmy feed, on YouTube! Someone is pushing it like a corporate product and I hate it. Plus, it's created and pushed by a fascist. Fuck that too!

I'm just now hearing about it, but I believe you.

So many pieces of shit on these forums come here just to shill garbage.

MX Linux had it a few years back, then Garuda, now it looks like omarchy is the distro that "popped up out of nowhere" and magically everyone is talking about it.

Hell yes. And every time I see it pop up, these points come up, usually a bunch of times. So people know this shit is trouble, and it’s still blowing up.

I never heard of omarchy and suddenly seeing it everywhere, and I keep fairly up to date on Linux stuff. Just immediately raises a lot of red flags.

I’m of mixed views about this. Omarchy is popular purely because of DHH. I don’t see anything of benefit beyond the notoriety of a famous dev.

There’s also some dissenting opinion about DHH in general that taints the project: https://drewdevault.com/...

Being based on hyprland also has some potential social issues.

I don’t get why cloudflare didn’t donate to arch instead.

I agree. This whole project deserves a good bit of skepticism, on political, social, and technical grounds.

Thanks for making me aware of the authors' blatant fascism.

“Waa waaaa waaaa waaaa.” Bootlicker. That’s what we are doing, we don’t like it so we don’t use it and tell people why we don’t like it. What more do you want? That’s exactly what you are advocating for, free speech. If I don’t like your ideas even if your product is “good” I’m not going to use it. Because usually those “good” projects are seeped in ideology, or just aren’t even good lol.

Cancel culture this cancel culture that, that’s all I hear from whiny right wing wackos who think the world shouldn’t have consequences.

I didn’t use any of the terms you used in your post. I’m not using those products in part for the reasons I discussed but also I don’t see it particularly useful beyond a cult of personality building it.

I watched the video. It's good to see Linux getting more attention. This and Gamers Nexus' video.
