QuickShell is quite buggy. Just like Qt.

Yet we have a new generation of Linux users that don't care for any of those. Why is that? Maybe Linux Mint, Fedora and Ubuntu are missing something? For what it's worth, one of the most popular mass market "GNU" Linux devices today is the Steam Deck. Defaulting to old school distros like Ubuntu is a very 2010 mindset.
Then you might as well say that the most popular mass market FreeBSD device is the PlayStation. Factually true, but unrelated to the conversation.

I don’t think they are as there’s nothing in Ormachy that isn’t readily available in normal distribution other than the “haxor” feeling. I use OpenBSD without any DE because I know all the CLI commands to make things happens, but I would be equally productive with using something like Elementary OS.
> audacious mission to make Linux on the desktop happen On the one hand, I'm supportive of people trying to make Linux on the desktop happen. On the other hand, a distribution aimed squarely and solely at developers doesn't seem like it's faithfully achieving that goal whatsoever, given that developers are the one group of people today that don't generally have a problem running Linux on the desktop.

And yet majority of developers use either corporate mandated Windows or Macs.

I am all in seeing more people run Linux and I think this might help the whole ecosystem and other distros long term. That being said I’m a bit concerned about videos like this https://xcancel.com/thestanduppod/status/2091511392717213707 (really hope this is AI generated) and that so many people are okay to give money to David’s project despite his commentary on various societal topics. I like many of David’s technic…

This money is funding Hyprland and QuickShell.
So a fancy window manager and a desktop environment (toolkit) in its infancy?
What makes you come to the conclusion that "more important" dependencies wouldn't receive funding in the future?
> audacious mission to make Linux on the desktop happen and a arch linux reskin with a tiling window manager + his companies apps pre-installed is the way to do that?
What alternative plan are you implementing?
