I ran it daily like up to 4 months ago. Updates would regularly break hyprland and most games I wanted to play needed much more tinkering than on vanilla arch with the same dependencies installed.

I haven’t tried installing games on Linux in years, so that’s a gap for my experience.

Mostly you install steam, install game from inside steam, and it just works with nothing further.

A far cry from 15 years ago.

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.

"all software is political" is a textbook deepity: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Deepity

Yes that is one part of how dog whistles work. Disguise it well enough to get rubes to run interference for you. You’re doing that very well.

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?

He literally calls openly for the ethnic cleansing of undesirable populations from Europe. Just read his blog. There's no subtlety or nuance.

What is the point of a new desktop Linux distro if you're gonna give it another dogsh* name no one can pronounce?

Is it not supposed to be om-archy? (This is the first time I even hear about the project.)

DHH pronounces it oo-mah-chi.

Ok I think I see the issue It's lines, lines and more lines of bash script sigh big sigh Using bash for all this stuff is like trying to wash your car with sandpaper instead of soap and water. Yes it can work if you're really careful with it, but in practice no

Which distro is not full of bash scripts?

It's also funny that all the systemd critics call that bash scripts is all you need

I'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?

What would you characterise the two linked security reports as, if not holes?

I would characterize them as "links." As opposed to a discussion of security holes.

I think I would argue that linking to the security problem(s) and then writing about their style and how they probably came to be counts as discussion, but to each their own.

Not in the amount I see there

And yes while I got more favourable to Systemd I cannot say bash is all you need, no
