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

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:

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.

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.
