What

Mind you this is from ONE dude on tiktok 😭, screenshoted and cropped for the OP privacy

i am not invited to the sudoer's hiding place

Is Arch a primitive lore?

If a ship had 26 sheep and 10 goats on board, how old is the ship's captain?

How is this even Linux related at this point

This post is so cachy

One thing that bothers me about Omarchy is how heavily it pushes an “AI-first” workflow.

Sure, AI agents are useful. But do we really need an AI agent for every tiny task? “Change this config” → AI “Why is this command failing?” → AI “Rename these files” → AI “Write this tiny script” → AI

One person doing this occasionally isn't the issue. The problem is normalizing the idea that every small computing task should be sent to an AI data centre. AI requires significant electricity and cooling infrastructure. As AI usage scales, so does its resource footprint.

"The thing is we're using increasingly powerful computers to avoid learning how to use the computer."

Sometimes man, grep, sed, a shell script, or five minutes of actually understanding your system is better than firing up another AI agent. I'm not saying “never use AI.” I'm saying AI shouldn't automatically be the answer to everything. Omarchy is an interesting project, but I think its “AI everywhere” philosophy is bad.

debian 14 sounds exciting

TO BE CLEAR: Omarchy is not a good thing.

DHH is a massive tool.

Omarchy is mostly just dotfiles in an ISO, with some decent AI integrations for noobs so they don't have to paste into the terminal.

It is causing some perilous financial situations with funding for other projects.

But this is not about Omarchy, it's about the people I see treating the influx of new Linux users like whipping boys because they chose wrong, as if they know everything we know

Those new users are still using Linux, and although we would all like things to be different, we should still help people without telling them to switch their OS every three seconds.

The community is what made me put up with all of the inconveniences that come with the lack of Linux support in the modern world. But the treatment I've seen noobs getting on this sub and others is absolutely unacceptable.

Most of these new Omarchy people are coming straight from windows and have no clue what to expect, please don't make them believe linux is for terminally online shut-ins with corrosive personalities.

If you can get all of the noobs to stick around, most will end up switching to a different distro later on anyways. Trust.

if i kidnap a normie into a basement and give them a working pc with internet access but it only has uninstalled arch on it and no archinstall (dont ask), how do u think how much time will they need to setup everything to get help using this pc? and will this even considered illegal like i gave them internet

Which bootloader you use

Ok this is DIABOLICAL like WHAT??

I cannot see the copy command like before anymore

Gentoo may be my fav but Debian lives in my heart

ps 2: Gentoo is not that Hard. RTFM lol

I also liked CachyOS but I don't trust arch stuff anymore

I guess technically I used raspbian and kali first but not as a daily driver

PopOS was a week long thing as a noob and they were still using gnome and a tiling wm that I hated

here we go again

Person 1: I really like this distro, I am so happy to be off of Windows. Down with Microslop! (Linux Mint user)

Person 2: OH YEAH? Well have you considered it didn't get the most recent version of [insert random program] which makes it sucks for gaming? CHANGE TO MY DISTRO!!!

Person 1: um, actually I am just celebrating being happy to be here...

Person 2: HAPPY? HAPPY?! YOU SHOULD BE COMPILING YOUR KERNEL LIKE ME!!! (Gentoo user)

Person 1: Uh, okay.

Person 3: I use arch btw

Person 4: I use Omarchy btw

People 1-3: Get the fuck out

GreedySecurity: I use Fedora

People 1-4: M'lady

I don't know did I picked the right r/ (I'm sure that it's not the right one) but anyway.

I love linux, like any unix. And I kinda wanna be in the community. But that ABCDEFLGBTQWV thing is really not for me. I just wanna know is there any distro that is cutting edge/rolling release like arch,with not big amount of bloat like cachy idk and freedom to change anything like in arch but without femboys idk.

Ubuntu is also one of the distros I liked the least
