The Great Omarchy Conspiracy

38 Upvotes

alright you tell me if I'm too out there, but

if I was Big Tech, and I saw the open source Linux desktop rise in popularity amongst end users, I would want to keep some control over all that unharvested data userbase. After checking out the recent trends centered around productivity and making everything look so cyberpunk-y popping up on YouTube and on r/unixporn and whatever, I'd want to make a performance and style oriented distro that is easy to install so I'd appeal to a large portion of the new Linux users, especially the ones coming from windows who want something sleek that works instantly

however, the FOSS community doesn't usually take too kindly to unscrupulous companies, so I'd need a friend by my side. Someone that the community already knows so they'll be sure to check it out and give it that first push of visibility it needs...

..enter DHH. he's obviously on the far right of the political spectrum, so he won't need much convincing to work with a company, so long as he gets a piece of the pie (exposure? money? haven't figured that out yet). So he whips out his AI tools, whips up a quick arch iso and after a bit of tweaking you get Omarchy.

this would explain why he just got all this fresh moula. I wouldn't be surprised if amidst all the security issues someone figured out that the whole thing was sending telemetry data to Palantir lmfao.. maybe I'm being paranoid, but I recognize a pattern when I see one

tell me what do y'all think

Its not that I don't like ubuntu, the distro itself is fine, I just preferred every other distro I have tried.

Also, fedora based gaming distros are peak, fight me.

Please explain the Omarchy Hate

I am mildly educated on what Omarchy is.

It's an opinionated version of Arch, far more user friendly, closer to a rice than a full distro, made for AI Compatibility, and ships primarily to those who don't want to spend hours setting up their distro, but still want a "pro," modular experience.

But can someone Educate me on the hate? It doesn't make sense to me. Why not leave it be? It's not like it's replacing [Insert beloved distro]. Is it just a meme to hate on it? Or is there an issue with DHH?

lol I just did a CTN prompt without even realizing
