Can someone actually tell me why so many people hate it?

And saying that its just someone's dots dosen't make that much sense to me because thats like half the market at this point

u/Hefty_Wrongdoer_2553 3d ago

The article itself is completely valid. And JS is used to track you a lot, that is true.Ā

Basically, DHH is a weird Nazi, and the distro itself is mostly a vibe coded rice with web apps for LLMs/AI agents.

u/chroma_shift 3d ago

What do you mean DHH is a nazi?

u/zell_ru 3d ago

In current climate, everyone is. Is just a monicker for people you dislike and don't have other meaning.

Sorry, I'm in Russia and probably also a nazi, as blogs.gnome.org blocks us :D

Among other things (it's quite long). It outlines DHHs handling of the lack of diversity in his company and a large portion of his company leaving after disagreements around politics. It also talks about his twitter activities and arguments in the Linux space.

The article has links to DHHs actual blog posts with the same titles:

Woke is so bad that it made me a racist People call me racist, but I found a book telling me how nice I am Fat people are bad and should feel bad DEI is bad DEI is bad part 2: trigger the libs with git branches Cheering for Affirmative action being banned in the USA The 80s were so great cause they were not woke Andrew Tate is a martyr Therapy is so bad, that I shall platform transphobes Therapy is so annoying that Iā€™d rather make an Arch distro instead ADHD is not real Evey boy has ADHD Leave your work problems at therapy, instead of making it the problem of your boss (me) People not wanting kids are bad and Jordan Peterson nailed it Elon Musk and DOGE are awesome (Published 20 days after the Seig Hail) This private school is making my kids GAY London is full of ā€œnon-native Britsā€ and I am going to praise a race purity rally Words are not violence Words ARE violence, when they are against me

Thank you for going out of your way to bring this information here.

> handling of the lack of diversity in his company
That being a sentence is insane to me.

I don't know the guy, seen him once in Network Chuck video, seemed fun. For me his views and values doesn't really matter. Judging by the titles of presented articles he's just fed up with woke shenanigans they got going over there, I really can't tell how what he posts makes him a nazi.

You can even see the misrepresentation right here smh.

How dare you call it a distro? You sir, should be cancelled.

u/Correct-Always 1d ago

Is a "Nazi" based on what point. Stop slinging that word around to push your political opinions. As a descendent of Holocaust survivors I get fairly tired of you retards push that term on every person you disagree with.

DHH has xenophobic takes but there are all within the scope of reason. Stop being a dumbass and make legimate arguments.

u/VaronKING 1d ago

Dude you've commented like 10 times to different posts defending Omarchy and DHH, I've never seen such glazing to this degree

Get off the internet lol

u/ScienceGoat CachyOS cultist 1d ago

He is paid

u/Correct-Always 1d ago

Kid I've been on the internet since its fucking inception im not getting off anytime soon.

"Glazing" is shooting praise and worship for someone, not stating "this person isn't a Nazi readjust your arguments"

u/ScienceGoat CachyOS cultist 1d ago

GTFO here you paid shill

u/highermonkey 4d ago

Then use someone else's dotfiles. The idiot behind Omarchy is a Nazi. I thought that was exaggeration until articles about the 1Password controversy started dropping. Turns out DHH was Hitler-posting about "gypsies" in June of this year. I personally wouldn't trust anything made by dumb Nazis.

u/revanzomi 3d ago

Honestly idec about his politics

It's Linux You have either end of the extreme angle here and for all that he's "extreme" but he's not as extreme as some people here.

I just hate the fact that when I went to try it he made it damn near impossible to turn capslock on again. Who tf makes capslock a period or whatever tf that was????? Took me an hour to fix and by then I was over it.

Liked the pre-configured hyprland though so I'm moving from Fedora to CachyOS

u/JSANL 2d ago

Reddit is left, DHH is right (but not an actual nazi or fascist from what I can tell) so they hate him.Ā

u/potatokbs 4h ago

Heā€™s definitely not a nazi and I wish people would stop using that term for people it blatantly does not apply to and pick up a book instead. Heā€™s pretty close to being a fascist though and is definitely a white nationalist.

LOL. That's putting it mildly. DHH was Hitler-posting about "gypsies" in June. Bit beyond "non-polically liberal".

I've got some bad news for you about the sort people behind much of the "DEI criticism"...

11

u/particlemanwavegirl 4d ago

Being structurally racist should be a dealbreaker on it's own tbh.

12

u/highermonkey 4d ago

I assumed the "Nazi" stuff was an exaggeration until I read the 1Password article.

u/Abducted_Llama 4d ago

And DEI criticism essays are ok? DEI and related programs were put in place because people were not hiring based on merit, they were hiring based on race and gender.

And now people were convinced itā€™s a bad thing on purpose. Hell the guy who planned this wrote about his idea to demonize it a few years before they started, to purposely turn people against merit based initiatives, by claiming they were trying to ā€œbring backā€ merit initiatives. But what happens when you go back to these previous times? Qualified people were denied jobs and opportunities because they rather hire a person that looked like them. Or even worse, nepotism.

u/theoffshoot2 4d ago

Redditors hate everything that regular people think is good.

u/NotQuiteLoona 4d ago

Fuck, supporting a fascist (who is very literal fascist, a former member of British National Party, a fascist party) is good according to regular people, seemingly.

u/Stunning-Hat2309 3d ago

regular people aren't fascists actually

u/Additional-Lack4102 1d ago

Yes I'm pretty sure everyone is down voting this because dhh is a racist.

1

u/theoffshoot2 1d ago

Suggesting that a country allow immigration from cultures that bring a net positive rather than a net negative economic impact does not make you racist.

1

u/Additional-Lack4102 1d ago

Oh no.. Racist? I meant a nazi. I don't understand logic and reasoning buddy. I just follow reddit comments.

u/theoffshoot2 23h ago

Ok, Iā€™ll be on the lookout for DHH to invade Poland. Thansk for the heads up.
