"Freedom to compute" cannot be separated from "Freedom to exist" as it explicitly depends on it. The authors of Omarchy pay lip service to the former while taking a stance against the latter.

It was (my) main takeaway and I wanted it to be evident in the headline. I didn’t want to bury the lede; I’ll uneditorialize it because it seems it’s causing some fighting in the comments and I don’t really want to instigate anything, more just warn people using the distro. I don’t think it’ll reach the people who need to be warned if it’s not evident that there’s an issue from the start.
Appreciate it! Editorialised is fine but the post is mostly about the development practices leading to bugs & the lack of awareness of how dangerous that is, not about the current absolute number of security holes if that makes sense.
I don't know, Omarchy's team really don't care if you're complaining. Wouldn't the security team and the agents just go and fix the security holes? They have a dedicated security team now that is being paid for this: https://omarchy.org/security/ But having a dedicated security team is marketing? I'm sure with the $10M cash chest the security will just improve over time and this blog post will be irrelevant. I don't…
Yea, I don’t get the shade. As many have said, it’s just Arch + a very polished UX preconfigured so you can jump right in without a lot of setup overhead. Why it’s security would be on a different level than any other Linux distro isn’t clear.

I think there is a pretty decent swath of people willing to rally behind someone who says they are trying to make a cool project specifically for people who want to be away from the "insufferable injection of identity politics". How large that swath is relative to the other is up for debate but it doesn't have to be particularly large. You'll get funding from people who are both interested in the actual product AND t…
dhh is very strongly associated with identity politics, though? (as in, "western"/white identity)

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.

I.e., when Omarchy is reported on in my country (on local blogs) nobody ever replies with anything political, it's just about the tech. But in some circles this is very different, somehow.
I am happy that the Linux ecosystem is getting attention, traction and funding. People that dont like and want to choose to go die on another hill, so be it, their prerogative.

Probably so people can understand what the post is about and can skip the rage-bait?
How is my title a rage bait? The current submission title is terrible, "Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues" would be much closer.

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?
