What is the point of a new desktop Linux distro if you're gonna give it another dogsh* name no one can pronounce?
I think it's oh-my-arch, remove h and move y to the end.

#42This tumblr level of discourse is precisely what the Linux community needs to leave behind.
Isn't the rise of AI basically turning software engineering into tumblr? Thats what I see; soon we'll have a forum that's just filled with roblox-but-for-adults.

#43I'm somewhat out of the loop, and it's not really mentioned in the article, but what's with Omarchy getting this crazy amount of financial support from this list of fairly prominent individuals? Until a few weeks ago I'd never heard of it, then what I did hear is that it's being made by a very... uhh, eccentric(?) individual, and now it's suddenly got a crazy amount of funding. What am I missing?
It’s a really strong UX that’s rapidly improving without a profit motive and people are excited about it.
Closest thing to the “it just works” experience that Mac was always known for and it runs great on older hardware. Even goes so far as to optimize the install time down to about 1 minute.
I was running i3 when an Ubuntu update borked my entire setup so I made the switch. The difference is night and day in the level of polish.
Small example, running Zoom on i3 caused a tile cascade every time I turned on my Bluetooth headset because Zoom bypassed the main notification system. Issue resolved here.
One of many little quirks that no longer happen.
It’s nice to see excitement around Linux because nothing from the big names was really creating it.

It's a political statement disguised as a FOSS project (which itself is fine, all software is political). The funders are not funding the development of a Linux distro, they are co-signing the political statement.
Is it? What's the statement?
It's quite a loud one, but it's broadcast above 25KHz or so

omarchy is the new "i use arch, btw". I'm too altruistic (or dumb) to understand why you would pump money into a riced arch install. In some way I feel people just try to buy into "street cred" on the other hand omarchy could be a great launchpad for a distro that is customizable, easy enough to use and may provide a great MDM solution at some point.

More like “I'm a white suppremacist, btw” though.
Quite unfortunate that it became acceptable enough to brag about that in public.

Financed by controversial figures too

Care to elaborate on "fascist agitator" or are you just going to smear a person with a truly serious epithet without anything to back it up?

#50"full of security holes" but the author could only name one (the two links in the opening paragraph are the same issue). Some people just hate DHH and can't separate the art from the artist
They point to two separate issues, what are you about?
