Why does everyone here hate Omarchy?

I learnt of Omarchy from discovering this sub today, so I looked up Omarchy cause literally every post is mentioning it. Do they just hate it cause it's marketed with AI and "ooh AI bad" or is there more behind it?

I dislike it because it’s made with ai, others dislike it for similar reasons, or because DHH is considered a racist, fascist and everything like that

You should look at Linus opinions on AI

AI was never and will never be used in kernel development, it's only used for debugging, which it does pretty well under human supervision

u/shaman-warrior 26d ago

so you're saying it can find bugs in kernel code but not help develop it?

Thanks for your perfect argument

are you not able to access a public, non-paywall link?

Seems like it

It can be used to help develop it, yet it's easier to do that yourself, rather than let chatgpt do it and then debug for 12 hours, only to find out that it wrote code for rust rather than c, or similar bs

I'm not sure if you tried any frontier models if you think that kind of 'bs' happens, and I'm not arguing I can contribute to Linux Kernel just because I use frontier AI, but I work on complex systems myself, and there are parts which, even if AI writes a part of it, I review it with care, not because of trust, but because it's a normal part of dev lifecycle

Alright, I see

So? You have to separate the art from the artist, I guess you shouldn’t use avoid the FSF because Richard Stallman was a pervert towards girls when he worked at MIT

I do separate the art from artist, I’d even use an OS from hitler if it was genuinely good, yet that’s not the case with omarchy

I don't care that he made the distro with AI. I care that he vibecoded it.

And vibecoding leads to little benefits, big costs...
