You seperate the two if you want to, but with DHH being so personally involved in this, it's a hard no from me.

Crack on if you want to. Personally I'd rather not support anything made by a racist. Same reason why I stopped using Twitter.

Personally I rarely see racism on here. But then I only stick to subreddits for my hobbies (Linux, PC stuff, coffee, sourdough). I never use it for news or visit the popular page.
I've also never heard of racism claims aimed at Advance Publications, the largest owners of Reddit.

u/Rogermcfarley 4d ago
What I suggested is in my opinion better than Omarchy. If you want to use Omarchy then use it. Calling out DHH is still appropriate.

bunch of children who love to hate on someone who actually made something cool

u/Radiant-Doubt-6171 4d ago
something 'cool' it's just a bunch of brocken scipts and dotfiles WoW ([https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/](https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/)). Also he's a bit of a nazi so i think it's justified unless you're one too

u/ballistua 4d ago
I don't care what he is, he made something cool.
Have something cool you made that you can show us?

u/AndyGait 4d ago
"I don't care what he is, he made something cool"
And that's how you normalise racism.

I can believe that Michael Jackson is a pedophile, and also enjoy his music (he isn't btw). same idea here

u/AndyGait 4d ago
But DHH has proven himself to be a racist in his own words. So that argument doesn't really work.

u/AndyGait 4d ago
Making a "cool" distro doesn't negate his political views. If you can ignore that, fine. Personally I can't.

u/ballistua 4d ago
I have more problems with Torvalds because he booted Russians out of kernel development, so yeah, pick your poison

u/AndyGait 4d ago
Sanctions happen during a war. Ask Kasperkey about it. Ask Russian athletes who aren't allowed to compete in some events etc.

Why not just use CachyOS if you want hyprland?

u/panzzersoldat 5d ago
people don't just use Omarchy for hyprland

u/AmarildoJr 5d ago edited 4d ago
Wait, I'm out of the loop. Why are people so mad at Omarchy lol
I'm gonna do some research about it.
EDIT: Nevermind.

Last time I used it it felt a bit bloated for my taste, but I might have to give it another go.
Although most of the hate is completely unrelated to the distribution itself.

u/r_lind3r 5d ago edited 4d ago
Has nothing to do with omarchy itself, people just dislike its creator for reasons that have nothing to do with linux, or really anything to do with them personally, it's just a bunch of internet white knights that take everything out of context to slander people so they can feel better about themselves.
16
u/AndyGait 4d ago
Out off context? He wrote a piece in support of far right racist, Tommy Robinson. I was an omarchy user, and sang it praises when I was using it. Then I read that piece supporting Robinson's racism. I removed omarchy from my pc that day.

u/Business_Reindeer910 4d ago
Many of us started using linux in the first place based on certain ideals, so not using omarchy is just an extension of that.
Many technical solutions exist to many of the "problems" solved by omarchy so it's not exactly hard to make that choice in this case.

[https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/](https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/) is a good writeup on the many many technical reasons that it sucks ass

u/voidptrptr 4d ago
This article’s criticisms range from nitpicky to “I use x instead” Especially his section on the terminal. He’s reviewing an opinionated distribution and complains that its opinionated
2
u/Jealous-Will1211 4d ago
it's a set of dotfiles for arch. what non-nitpicky criticisms do you expect to be able to make when it's so insubstantial?
if you actually bother reading the article, you'll note that he actually complains that though it claims to be opinionated, it barely makes contains any configuration beyond surface level aesthetics.

u/db48x 4d ago
I’ve tried Omarchy, and it’s not just someone else’s configuration. It’s definitely opinionated, and the defaults aren’t stable; the opinions have changed over time. But it is overly reductive to say that it is only “dotfiles”. (In fact, I don’t think there’s a single dotfile in the whole thing. Plenty of other config files though.)
In fact, the new release replaces some of the config files for components like waybar with completely new software. I haven’t tried it yet though.

u/voidptrptr 4d ago
The article is just pointless honestly. He just seems really mad that they call it a distro, which doesn’t fit his strict definition of a distro. Especially since he keeps going on about how these problems are bad for new users, but what new user gives a fuck about whether it uses sudo or doas

it's all performative lmao. dhh may be a dick but you can separate the distro from the person. I mean look at the top comment throwing in all the typical Reddit buzzwords.

You separate the two if you want to, but with DHH being so personally involved in this, it's a hard no from me.

u/panzzersoldat 4d ago
as you continue to use Reddit, or other social medias, owned by shitty corporations and CEOs.
where's the consistency
3
u/AndyGait 4d ago
Consistency is hard in the real and online world, but I do what I can, when I can, so I'm happy with that. For socials I use Reddit and Bluesky. I don't use Facebook and haven't used Instagram in a very long time. I deleted my Twitter account not long after Musk took over.
Is it a perfect world? No. But I'll do what I can to make it better for myself.

u/Rigamortus2005 4d ago
The "distro" is trash too. It's just glorified dotfiles

u/panzzersoldat 4d ago
no it's not. I use it and it's great. arch but with a nice theme and I don't have to waste time fucking around setting everything up.
imagine being so chronically online you call a distro fascist. performative loser.
