> As a developer who mostly wants a Mac-like Linux distro without the associated noise I'm required to use Ubuntu at work. Coming from Mac, apart from the menu bar at the top, on Gnome, I've been able to customize the keyboard shortcuts, remap the keyboard so that Ctrl works like Cmd, and use extensions like Dash to Dock[1] and themes like Whitesur[2] to replicate something that almost works like a Mac. The keyboard…
The fact that you think this is acceptable shows that you don't appreciate the difference. Again, I haven't used Omarchy but the docs claim that Super + C and Super + V work everywhere, not with all the different exceptions you mention.

Even if you introduce bugs in your UI (which I think is not very likely if you have a basic understanding of your system), the chance that someone would exploit software that literally only runs on your own machine seems extremely unlikely to me. I've been using arch for over 10 years btw.
Isn't the other half of AI that we can afford to look for exploits in one-off software?
Something about a controversial personality pushing a window manager install script is really appealing to people I guess. At least it brings awareness that other desktop paradigms exist. Although after years of ‘optimizing’ my tiling window manager I just ended up back on KDE.

is there a fedora 44 ws with non free package built in ?
You still have to use rpmfusion, which isn’t a huge deal. It’s maybe 5 min one time and then you are set. Or you could use one of the Universal Blue spins. Bluefin and Aurora have non-free stuff built in and you can install pretty much any package from anywhere.
"Opinionated" software sounds great until you find out the author has the stupidest opinions you've ever heard in your life.

It does warn you. It's an opinionated Linux for a modern developer/user. This modification absolutely makes sense in that context.
I hope this was an attempt at sarcasm. The Omarchy team immediately fixed this because it was a security oversight, not an intentional opinionated choice.
They "immediately fixed it" after it blew up on X/Twitter. Just like all the other issues they've had in the past few weeks.
And now they formed a "security team" lol.
A few days ago someone found they were flowing USB descriptors straight into the shell. https://github.com/omacom/omarchy/commit/9285b19d6a72eba3df8... Don't use vibecoded distros. It doesn't matter whether they fix this or that, or whether you care about a particular vuln. This is not sensible. It's why you switched away from Windows in the first place, remember?
And the cycle continues. It’s funny seeing Omarchy (DHH) becoming popular when we had LARBS (Luke Smith) 8-10 years ago.

Shopify forced him to be a vibe coder now. Omarchy is a vibe coding distribution. In the AI world, security issues are just another marketing opportunity. EDIT: Downvote all you want. He was anti-AI, got a board seat at Shopify and then became an AI influencer. Now additional money is rolling in to Omarchy from Lütke and Steinberger.
It's really disturbing that there's a group of these CEO/investor types that are openly white nationalists, and they're joining forces. I'll never touch any of their products, and I hope they continue to expose themselves on social media.
