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 expect the security to be perfect out of the gate at when Omarchy 4.0 just launched with real backing?

Just read DHH's blog and then you may quickly realise that other distributions may be a better choice. There is a difference between "opinionated" and ... whatever the content criteria is for DHH nowadays to write stuff on his blog.

Younger DHH was more impressive than the TechBro aged later variant, in my personal opinion.

Arch is in general a good base though - I mostly use Manjaro as base, then customize it via a ton of scripts and compile about 99% from source anyway, using an extended set of ruby scripts (a bit similar to homebrew, but one big difference is that I wanted versioned AppDirs like in GoboLinux; my scripts originated from GoboLinux's philosophy since I did not want to use shell scripts but retain versioned AppDirs. Manjaro is in some ways a bit similar to oldschool slackware, which unfortunately kind of died - it is not really fully dead, but look at the homepage and then tell me how many years past the last .iso release still counts as alive. So to me it is dead, despite the changelogs still being updated or others, such as alienbob, pushing out new releases.)

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?
