I'm a long term Linux user (since 2003) and I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad X1 13th Gen sitting here with a blank boot medium and I have to decide what to install as an OS now. Ubuntu again? Fedora maybe due to more recent drivers? Omarchy due to - why not?
That article helped - the flagging? Not so much.
This blog pranks you with changing titles when you switch tabs (some nsfw), then welcomes you back with a paragraph inciting you to disable Javascript. That's nice, but I actually need Javascript in my browser to do real stuff.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I want something that works out of the box, i normally use Mac, but for my private machine I switched to omarchy. Much nicer configuration then fedora/Ubuntu for productivity. And be assured, i have not posted a single screenshot anywhere.
There are numerous other, much more professional and vetted distributions that will better serve you. If you had read the article you’d not be making this comment.
Non work as good as omarchy for my very light web development needs at home.
Starts with very simple things, like podman with its improved security getting in my way, or copy paste not working the same in all apps and terminals.
I unfortunately have not a lot of time, between my familie, friends, hobbys and job.
Tbh the reduced/sensible security is most likely one of omarchys selling points.
And who gives a duck about 15gb?
These criticisms all feel very nitpicky and subjective. So many of them seem to boil down to, "this is an opinionated configuration, but their opinions differ from my opinions." This part was where I stopped taking the article seriously: > Moreover, taking into account that the system relies heavily on sudo (instead of the more modern doas), and also considering that the default installation configures the maximum nu…
God, this comment is funny to me. This is pulled straight from this website (https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/93/security)
> Omarchy takes security extremely seriously. This is meant to be an operating system that you can use to do Real Work in the Real World. Where losing a laptop can’t lead to a security emergency.
lol Are you saying that a distro that makes this kind of claim shouldn't be concerned with the amount of times you can type in a wrong password? Especially since it's not vetting that actual security of the password itself?
How many times does your bank allow you to type in the wrong password? Is it 10? Cmon.
It is so sad to see so many people -- including the article, to an extent -- and also people in the comments cast shade on this distro and the people who may try Linux either for the first time, or perhaps one more time, because they tried and failed to switch before. Calling it flashy is an especially amusing critique. You couldn't kick your way through the 90s and 2000s without the endless parade of semi-transparen…
What does this even mean with respect to the article?
Why is this flagged?

Because there are a lot of DHH fanboys on this site.
It's a tad ironic that critiquing the OS of one a guy who thinks he's fighting for "free speech"* gets flagged. lol.
*He doesn't know what free speech actually is as evidenced by his support of Trump and Elon.

I think many people have problem with the project because it is from alt-right environment.

I will absolutely say that a distro making that claim should not worry about the difference between 3 and 10 password attempts on sudo (i.e. when you're already logged in).
> Especially since it's not vetting that actual security of the password itself?
Yes, that should be fixed. But it's a separate matter.
I guess Omarchy looks cool but I remember Linux distros being just as cool in 2002 with Enlightenment and many other custom scripts and setups. Unfortunately, Linux on the desktop hasn't moved on much.
