>some rando tech richfag has enough of Linux shittyness, decides he and some rich friends invest in a Linux distro that actually works and even tests it intensively on dozens of laptops made in the last decade to personally make sure it's not yet another distro with no support and forgotten in 3 weeks like 50,000 other distros made by Linux ""experts"" to statpad their resumes>Linux community: noooo stop doing that, you are literally genociding us, Linux on pc should be a broken piece of shit like it was since 1992, stop doing this to our exclusive safespace sekrit club, you are not allowed here, we will sign le petitions, somebody stop this madman!Why do people get triggered like this?
>>109804496The main issue is that the people who make this are fucking retarded and have no skills besides "making it look nice". No wonder, they are ricers.In any functioning development team, those people are just part of the team and their most retarded decisions are stopped by people who actually understand the system in its entirety.Omarchy doesn't have those people and so every "We added this because we thought it looked cool" shit enabled by default brought in severe security issues that these "boring' distros like Debian or Fedora.
>>109804514That these boring distros would have caught, I mean.
>>109804514"Omarchy is just a bunch of scripts"1. Crafting a fine UX is much harder than building a Linux distro. AI commoditizes the tech, but doesn't replace human taste.2. A sticky user base is moat. Omarchy has it, Arch doesn't. Never has anyone said, "I only use Arch because I love pacman so much", but a lot of people are attracted to & will stick with Omarchy's UX regardless of which distro it's based on.It's important to look beyond the code and see where real values are at.
>>109804514>Omarchy doesn't have those peopleThat doesn't matter. They have enough agents to solve it. Checkmate haters!
>>109804684It's important to look beyond the good looks and see that these people don't know what the fuck they're doing.
No thanks, I'm not a faggot.
>>109804514dont like dont use itthere is no need for a public mental breakdown contemplating suicide because of some fuckass distro.
>>109804496They hate Omarchy because DHH has right-of-Mao views and everyone in Linux who isn't a basement incel is a troon, fag, or troonfag
>>109804684>Crafting a fine UX is much harder than building a Linux distroThe millions of ricing posts in 4chan and Reddit would beg to differ. It's just a generic basic ass Arch Hyprland setup.>but a lot of people are attracted to & will stick with Omarchy's UX regardless of which distro it's based on.Is there even an audience for this? I mean the "avarage joe" doesn't care about ricing and tiling-VM autism and will just use KDE/Gnome/Cinnamon, and the people who do care about Hyprland are autistic enough to do this stuff themselves.>>109804496>he and some rich friends invest in a Linux distroBut that's not what they did? Instead of they invested in a bunch of config files of some guys rice. Like I get they are proud of it, but just share it on Reddit/Youtube like everyone else and move on. It would be one thing if they donated the majority of it to Arch and other devs, the guys who are actually doing all the work, similar to how they are supporting the Hyprland dev.
>>109804496It's a sign of the rot in open source and free software communities: there's too many politically motivated activists which end up gatekeeping projects and project spaces. Don't fit in because your politics don't match? Then you get "cancelled".
>>109804496>tests it intensivelythey didn't even implement the fucking lock screen properly stop pretending it isn't vibeslop
>>109804496kill yourself paijeet
>>109804684>I only use Arch because I love pacman so muchI have said that, but I don't use arch
>>109804496Because the "people" here are those who made the 50k shitty distros in the first place.
>>109804767>But that's not what they did? Instead of they invested in a bunch of config files of some guys ricethats 90% of the distros out there my dude.
>>109804810yeah except its built on fucking arch so it comes with malware and a distinct lack of reproducibility
>>109804810Yes, but the big difference is they get forgotten about and abandoned after a week because they have no reason for existing. Omarchy is just another trash "it's X but with a new theme" distro but for some reason it gets talked about like it's has actual value.Just because Hannah Montana Linux exists doesn't mean anyone should pump 10 million into it.
>>109804496I'm sorry I don't understand what omarchy is. All I've seen is AI bullshit + bullshit twm ricing + bloat I don't fucking need. What else does it have? Does it make shit work that doesn't work on most main distros? No?
>>109804496>things that never happened: the schizo loser lolcow threadglorious>>109804684>1. Crafting a fine UX is much harder than building a Linux distro. it's relatively easy to do>. Omarchy has it,has nothing of the sort. did you losers and sex offenders seriously believe if you post the logo enough you might get more than 2 people using it or start taking it seriously? good luck with your severe mental illness>>109804952>I'm sorry I don't understand what omarchy isit's yet another arch clone but worse. and it's being heavily shilled by right wing child molesters all over the internet. businesses that have donated money to these losers running this project are losing customers and getting massive PR problems. As long as right wing communist pedos keep posting the logo, that means people are using it or care.
>>109804991>it's yet another arch clone but worse. and it's being heavily shilled by right wing child molesters all over the internet.Look I might fit that description but this shit sounds dumb as fuck
>linux communityMore like retarded mods on lobsters
>>109804859>doesn't mean anyone should pump 10 million into it.yes it doesthats not your communal money my dude. they can do whatever the fuck they want with that cash, even wipe their asses with the money then flush it down the toilet and still it's still more efficient than FOSS foundations receiving 50 million in donations then pouring 24.5 million in the CEO account and 24.5 million in DEI conventions in Uganda.
i wish i had a use for this but i don’t. my desktop is a mac and my laptop is a mac. my server is unraid and my headless gaming pc is windows. i just see no where this distro would fit. kinda sad cause a fully ai agent os sounds cool as fuck
>>109805052I mean they can obviously, but I also have the right to call them fucking retarded. Because you have to mentally retarded to spend 10 million on a fucking AI generated Hyprland Rice when they could have asked some random Reddit faggot to share their configs for free, or pay like 10 bucks for it.
>>109805126there are roughly 9000 foss endeavours that burn 9000x more cash you should call "retarded" before this meme distro.
>>109805135And when someone ever makes a thread defending Wikipedia I will do that.
Even if someone’s rice was worth 15 million dollars, I’ve seen much better rices done by solo hobbyists.The thing about omarchy is that it’s targeted toward people who aren’t Linux enthusiasts and even know very little about computers in general. All the shill tubers showing them asking an AI to make a heckin awesome cyberpunk omarchy theme that looks like dogshit are appealing to mouthbreathers. Those mouthbreathers literally don’t know what Linux is, let alone quickshell or hyprland OR understanding the concept of Wayland, a compositor, tiling window manager, wine/proton, etc.And so the end result is that those people believe that all of that belongs to omarchy. They don’t have the awareness to see the individual projects, so they believe omarchy specifically has the ability to run windows programs; omarchy specifically has the ability to make custom widgets; omarchy specifically integrates into AI and has “agent-ready configs” (aka text files)So in other words, omarchy fans don’t see macOS, windows, linux. They see macOS, windows, and omarchy. That’s where the hype comes from. If you had 90IQ and saw all the cool shit you can do on linux for the first time, you’d be just as hyped. That hype is just misguided by stupidity/ignoranceThe people choosing to invest have even less of an idea, they just put money where hype is because a few million is nothing for a chance at attaching your company’s name to a hyped project.
It works, its fast, has everything I need out of the box and for the last 365 days it hasn't failed me. It is exactly the kind of Arch distribution that I was looking for and no, JeetyOS doesn't scratch remotely the same itch.
Can one of you fags just make a working distro for once without getting all autistic about it? Anyone that's ever been laid before that can code? I don't need all the turbo nerd shit, I just don't want to use Windows or iOS anymore and every distro had sucked ass that I've tried, and I've tried most of them. I have better shit to do with my time than to obsess over placements of the file explorer. Can you nerds just fucking shut up already and come up with something good? Thanks
>>109805236You are a turbo nerd if you’re even on here talking about wanting a linux distro. Youre just incapable of doing anything People who aren’t turbo nerds and use linux already use Ubuntu and dont cry about it
>>109805180>defendingnobody is defending shit, some people are just wondering why one specific distro gets gets so much hate, meanwhile a million other wasteful things get a pass. also not only wasteful, but actual good things get destroyed.if that Omarchy main fag was an indian woman i bet everyone here would worship it just like debian.
>>109804684>I only use Arch because I love pacman so muchI mean, I do love pacman and the large official repository of vanilla packages it has. Im even convinced cope like snap and flatpak only exist because other distro's repos are so dogshit
Are they going to change their name to Omnixy when they migrate to a Nix based OS or just continue larping as an Arch distro?
I appreciate what he's doing but it's not for someone who can actually configure and set up their own system like me.
>>109804496paid omarchy viral marketing, love to see it
>>109804496This is the fastest and loudest astroturfing job I have ever seen lmao
>>109804496I think everyone should try arch. It's just worked on literally any computer I've used and has all the software I ever want, haven't found a reason to use anything other than arch.
>>109804496>>109804514Finally someone taking action to make a good-looking and useful distro, unlike anything out currently.
>>109804496fuck off DHH
>>109804496no one usig your vibe coded sloperating system
buy an ad
>>109806922What else do you think DHH will do with $8+ million other than keep ricing his desktop?
>>109809275jump into an acid vat
>>109804496Why is it that reddit, orange reddit, and red reddit constantly accuse him of being a fascist but never a tourist or a poser?
>>109804496>richfag gets tired of manually configuring Arch Linux on new computers>decides to redistribute arch with the software and configs he uses installed by default>gets some of his rich friends to pretend they gave him money for maintaining his Arch derivative>some people get annoyed at the retards who incessantly shill it, like OP.FTFY
>>109804496What's up with all these guys saying other distros look bad? Mint looks pretty nice to me and it has a better UX than all of these "modern" low contrast distros.
>Never heard of it>Google itSo basically arch with sway as default DE. What's so special about it, besides the techbro origin?
>>109805236(You) need Mint
>>109805287What the fuck are you talking about? Everyone here hates nuDebian just as much as Omarchy. This is a Gentoo board.
AIslop distro is one thing, but he chose to base it on an r/unixporn tranny's Arch rice and not NixOS or Guix System; you know, the declarative config distros that actually synergize with LLMs pretty well. He's so heckin opinionated but picked the most boring, entry-level Linux setup imaginable.
>>109804767>>109804767There's people that's interested in ricing and the looks and feel of WMs, but don't have the time to rice it themselves.Still, I don't think making "another distro" that's just a WM with some fancy rice on top is enough for someone like me. I'd like regular distros to support proper basic Wayland WMs like they used to when X was the norm.Right now we have sway and labwc for tiling and window-stacking, yet no popular distro like debian or fedora ship it with some sane default scripts. It's too DIY for normies and it takes too much time for it to have a decent, basic configuration.I've been a basic linux user for over 15 years, and I used to love debian's openbox and xfce configs. Nowadays I'm using fedora and I'm just waiting for xfce's wayland port, or for proper labwc support.If debian any of that for their next stable release I'm switching back. The only reason I use Fedora right now is because my laptop is relatively new.
>>109811713>What's so special about it,>>109804810
>>109804496Because it's LITERALLY nazism and white supremacy.>"An open fascist is building one of the bigger sources of funding for open source fully under his individual control and sucks up a lot of money that otherwise might have gone to liberatory projects. Community projects. Antifascist projects.">"And that is why Omarchy matters.">"Running Omarchy means contributing to this dynamic. It means willingly integrating oneself into a fascist community. Legitimizing it. Supporting it." >"Omarchy is a fascist project that normalizes fascist thinking for everyone entering that community."
>>109811899Well then. Whatever this drama is about then, i can ignore it.>>109804496Try a cosmic thread.
>>109811911progressives really like playing this game of telephone where they spread distorted rumors across dozens of websites about people they hate, and they end up believing the most nonsensical liesthat image is filled with a ton of bullshit.
