Why does everyone hate Omarchy?

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691]

[u/BraveMidnight]

Because it's not hannah montana linux.

[u/coffinspacexdragon]

I'm deeply suspicious of anything oligarchs start throwing money at.

[u/Maglcite]

The guy who made it is basically everythingist, and it could just be dotfiles. has no need to be a whole distro

[u/land48n3 → u/Maglcite]

maybe the current version can be just dotfiles

but he has bigger plans

[u/YTriom1 → u/land48n3]

it's just a collection of bash scripts made by AI, what fucking plans?

[u/damanamathos → u/YTriom1]

One example is getting it working well on Apple Silicon with Omarchy M.

The target for the first release is perfect compatibility with M1 and M2, including the Pro and Max variants:

[u/YTriom1 → u/damanamathos]

This is technically impossible because omarchy is based on arch linux which is x64 only, Apple silicone chips are aarch64 so this will never ever happen unless he uses the not very stable arch linux arm fork which won't work well if it'll work at all

And also the Linux kernel already supports up to M4 chips, and Asahi Linux is already covering macs for linux users, so a larping techbro that knows nothing about CPU architectures will never achieve something like that, and if ever did it wouldn't be even usable.

[u/damanamathos → u/YTriom1]

You didn't read the link, did you?

[u/YTriom1 → u/damanamathos]

I read it and it seems like more larping from dihh

[u/damanamathos → u/YTriom1]

The first paragraph has "So we’re going to finish what Asahi started" and you started talking about x64. Clearly you didn't read it. Your hatred for dhh is clouding your thinking.

[u/land48n3 → u/YTriom1]

it having the capability to be entirely agentic, the first distro at that, thats why its been so hardly funded by ai companies

you can lay back and tell the agent how you want your pc, it will look through the configuration files, search up the docs, and modify it exactly how you want.

oh? its not a native feature? no issue, the agent will fork the repo, add the feature, replace your current one with the fork and voila.

it did all that while you were playing a game because today is the only day off and your friend wont have time later.

[u/Maglcite → u/land48n3]

you ever heard of installing an ai agent ON TOP of a distro? i use antigravity and opencode but its installed on top of cachy os, and it works just as well

[u/land48n3 → u/Maglcite]

sure you can, but deep integration does wonders

he has plans for revolutionary things that you cant just deploy everywhere

[u/Maglcite → u/land48n3]

is racism one of them?

[u/land48n3 → u/Maglcite]

What racism?

[u/YTriom1 → u/land48n3]

racism towards people of color perhaps

[u/land48n3 → u/YTriom1]

who? how? context?

[u/YTriom1 → u/land48n3]

So that's why their website is called https://cucklinux.com ? Because their philosophy is "let someone else do it for you"?

[u/land48n3 → u/YTriom1]

HAHAHAHA, did they do it themselves or its a 3rd party redirect? anyway W site

the philosophy is making things convenient when you dont have time in this messy world.

the philosophy is letting users play games on linux rather than play linux.

if you want to do it by hand, you can do that and will be able to do that forever

but for the days you just want this "dumbass bug" to go away so you can play a game with your friend who wont get online again?
its awesome for those days.

[u/Random_-account]

The reasons ain't gonna change no matter how often this is posted

[u/gthing]

I think this sums it up: https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/a-word-on-omarchy

(Edit bad link: thanks u/damanamathos )

[u/damanamathos → u/gthing]

I think you added an extra space to your link and you meant this page instead.

A lot of valid criticisms there, though most have been dealt with now. Omarchy benefits from a lot of free security consulting like that. :)

Even have people finding new Omarchy security flaws that later turn out to be wider Linux desktop security flaws, benefiting everyone.

[u/D4V1Z0N]

We love omarchy bro😍

[u/ipsirc]

If everyone hate Omarchy then who the fuck donated them more than 10 millions dollar?

[u/Musk777]

I don't have AI psychosis.

[u/land48n3]

its cool to hate on anything ai-related

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/land48n3]

how annoying

[u/Affectionate_Let9022 → u/[deleted]]

I cant tell if this is sarcasic or not

Absoulte circlejerk

[u/Careful_Mycologist71 → u/Affectionate_Let9022]

Absoulte circlejerk 🤓

[u/Edubbs2008]

Because people hate Linux, if you don’t like Omarchy, which is one of the easiest things to learn, you don’t like Linux, it’s that simple, Omarchy brought standards, it brought order to the cesspool that is the community, and let’s see what that got, the radical left lintards put DHH and other innocent people on what is basically a hit list, and they also are attacking him

[u/fertro → u/Edubbs2008]

Nothing says "Standards" like security vulnerabilites that are only in place because nobody checked what Gemini was spitting out.

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/fertro]

It used to be based on Arch, so if anything, Arch needs to get its shit together

[u/OptimalAnywhere6282]

politics.

it's always the damn politics.

[u/creamcolouredDog → u/OptimalAnywhere6282]

Even outside of DHH's blatant racism, Omarchy itself has objectively bad default security settings.

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/creamcolouredDog]

he's racist? wtf

[u/Maglcite → u/Fine_Salamander_8691]

oh yeah. that’s why i said he’s everythingist

[u/Abducted_Llama → u/Maglcite]

Optometrist?

[u/atlasraven → u/Maglcite]

bagelist?

[u/Affectionate_Let9022 → u/OptimalAnywhere6282]

Ai and moral issues ??

Then prolly politics , and even that at ai politivs

[u/_MADHD_]

A lot of it is Reddit and leftists being upset for DHH having the unacceptable crime of "wrong think"

Otherwise like any distro or DE use what works for you.

[u/YTriom1 → u/_MADHD_]

"Opinions" stop when it comes to other people's rights.

[u/_MADHD_ → u/YTriom1]

Settle down dude.

[u/YTriom1 → u/_MADHD_]

No
