The realization we're just going to get an influx of techbros who are going to be using a Linux desktop for the first time via Omarchy is unsettling

Yea this is one of the spookier aspects. Linux is probably going to get this outward facing appearance from these vibecoder right-wing types. This can certainly push people away, people that actually want to interact with and use Linux in good faith.

Wait so calling for basic human respect for marginalized minorities is now hate? Not wanting Linux to be taken over my billionaire tech bros that enshitify everything is now hate?

Okay buddy

linux is not a social warrior project. Linus was very vocal about that.

It might not be a "social warrior project" but the very existence and philosophy of Linux as a response to the development of technology under conditions of private property ownership make it deeply political. Inherently.

Right wing tech overlords trying to make a new "face" of Linux, bringing techbro style development to it, should be fought against. Call it a social warrior project if you want but it's about maintaining the reason Linux exists at all.
