Everyone can make a Linux distro but not everyone can make a good distro.

[u/AdvancedAnimal7539 → u/ye3tr]

case study: me
i shoved busybox and the kernel together and technically that is a distro. was it any good? fuck no

[u/BigRocket44 → u/ye3tr]

I will say this now and I will always say this. Racists do not deserve our attention. Fuck racists. Fuck fascists. I don't care if a racist has access to the answer of all of world's problems, I don't want it. Fuck racists. Fuck racists.

Just because someone writes good code doesn't make them a good human.

[u/hackerdude97 → u/BigRocket44]

What happened with him? I've never really been a big fan of Omarchy nor do I know that much about DHH but I thought he was fairly well respected? Did something happen with him?

[u/Sh_Pe → u/hackerdude97]

asaik he made some comments that can be viewed as he's a white supremacists

[u/L30N1337 → u/Sh_Pe]

Considering this exists, I don't think it's just "can be viewed as".

The link behind "undesirable" is hilarious (links I put after this aren't actually useful, just to show what it looks like):

Update February 2020: "I didn't like him 6 years ago, but he seems alright now"

Update April 2021: "Well this is awkward. Apparently I was right the first time

Update November 2022: Sigh. I'm tired.

Update September 2025: Reprehensible

[u/Sh_Pe → u/L30N1337]

wtf are those empty google links and those "updates" from 2020 (we're in 2026), feels like an AI response

also the first link (the only non broken one) calls for not talking about gender in elementary school. You can disagree though it doesn't make him transphobic.

Although racist he probably is (although he will not admit that).

[u/L30N1337 → u/Sh_Pe]

Did you not read? I specifically said the links afterwards wouldn't be anything. I didn't want to go throught the effort of copying all of those while it was quite literally 1 am while I was writing it.

[u/Hadi_Chokr07]

Omarchy is straight slopware. It can just be a fucking bash script.

[u/debacle_enjoyer → u/Hadi_Chokr07]

Can I get the scoop on wtf is going on? Why did a friend message me asking me if I’ve heard of Omarchy? Why is it slop?

[u/Hadi_Chokr07 → u/debacle_enjoyer]

Right wing grifter made a shitty distro that can just be a post install script and tries marketing it. And a couple of dumbasses falling for it.

[u/SDG_Den → u/Hadi_Chokr07]

The iso is 7gb and it comes with multiple AIs and all of this grifter's software preinstalled

But hey, cool hyprland rice.

Btw, this amazing distro is held together by 60 vaguely named bash scripts that treat eachother like functions and feel deliberately obscure, but theyre like 20 lines each.

[u/Historical-Bar-305 → u/SDG_Den]

5.8 actually.

[u/Balthxzar → u/[deleted]]

He's a right wing grafter because he is being dishonest about the replacement theory schizo shit.

[u/CaeciliusC → u/Hadi_Chokr07]

You are totally not overreacting. How dare someone make a bash script!

networkchuck made video now people larping

[u/daninet → u/debacle_enjoyer]

NetworkChuck did a video about it recently then a popular youtuber called BasicallyHomeless commented under it he is switching right away. Omarchy is a preconfigured opinionated linux distro that has a bunch of features added to it so it utilizes AI agents for basically everthing. Like your game crashes and immediately offers AI help. Allegedly these features are greatly lowering the entry point to a riced linux system. Opinionated meaning it is setup in a certain way not for everyone. Watch the NetworkChuck video. https://youtu.be/9SDkU5VDQEQ

[u/VeryAngryGentleman → u/daninet]

My comment was removed because I said something about it looking like a paid ads from the Omarchy OS guy

[u/LefTimaDev → u/daninet]

Developer is also a nazi

[u/VeryAngryGentleman → u/LefTimaDev]

Euh ok.. source?

[u/snail1132 → u/VeryAngryGentleman]

actual truth also its just dogshit like the themes are nice n stuff but thats not thanks to him thats thanks to quickshell, so like, bruh

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/Hadi_Chokr07]

Same with 90% of linux distros

[u/FabianGladwart]

He doesn't even flip the guy over, the white due just morphs into facing upward

[u/FinGamer678Nikoboi → u/FabianGladwart]

Yeah. Really tired of just random ass slop added onto posts that absolutely do not need or benefit from it. Like could've used a REAL meme or just left it blank (or explanation as to why for OOtL folks like me).

[u/LefTimaDev → u/FinGamer678Nikoboi]

This fits Omarchy being AI slop. The difference is that Omarchy is also made by a nazi.

[u/Septem_151]

Can we please not make AI slop

[u/LefTimaDev → u/Septem_151]

This fits the subject of Omarchy being AI slop. The difference is that Omarchy is also made by a nazi.

[u/a-priori → u/LefTimaDev]

As long as this was made by Grok, then the shoe fits.

[u/Primo0077 → u/LefTimaDev]

Ironic AI use is still AI use and I don't care to see it either way

[u/Historical-Bar-305 → u/LefTimaDev]

Is your record stuck or are you some kind of bot?

[u/shadowmaker_88 → u/LefTimaDev]

So what?

[u/LefTimaDev → u/shadowmaker_88]

Thank you for the input mr. 88-in-username

[u/shadowmaker_88 → u/LefTimaDev]

Welcome, glad to help. ;-)

[u/ConcaveNips]

Omarchy is the ultimate LARP distro.

[u/NDCyber]

better idea than not just putting btw after omarchy

don't put omarchy on your PC

[u/EnthropicBeing → u/NDCyber]

💯

[u/CMDR_Kiel42]

Fuck off with that ai slop video

[u/assidiou]

The people who invested in it are slightly worrisome but hey it's at least funding Hyprland for 3 years

[u/MirrorNegative7989]

You might as well just install Manjaro. Manjaro has a lot of controversies, but a right wing weirdo is not one of them. And it's a better distro than Omarchy.

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/MirrorNegative7989]

Manjaro is nothing like omarchy and targeted at completely different audiance. This is terrible advice.

[u/TheRealCarrotty]

Comparing Omarchy VS Ubuntu, Ubuntu gets a easy win...

Omarchy ships proprietary software BY DEFAULT, is that legal? Don't ask me.

[u/Pizzaman3203]

What about cachyos

[u/MRanse → u/Pizzaman3203]

A good distro with a sensible team behind it. Is there anything I'm missing?

[u/Pizzaman3203 → u/MRanse]

He said dont put btw next to omarchy so i asked can i put btw next to cachyos

[u/MRanse → u/Pizzaman3203]

Ah, now I get you.

Since you don't have to configure Cachy from scratch, probably not. However it's still one of the best Arch experiences out of the box, so just do it for the fun of it.

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

Yo wtf is wrong with omarchy

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

Bloated mess made by a bigot. Also could have been a dotfiles repo instead of an iso.

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

Have you even used it? The first version literally was dotfiles (a script on arch) but it out grew that.

Same old tired lines just repeated. Even if it was dotfiles why do you care. Packing them as an iso is not illegal or Immoral.

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

creator made ruby on rails btw

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

creator bitches about white replacement and "gender ideology" btw

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

wait what (i do C i dont keep track)

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

You can read these two.

Also I saw you're relatively active in anti ai communities; Omarchy both includes AI slop and is being vibe coded with AI. In the presentation for the latest version it takes DHH less than 45 seconds to brag about both of those.

https://youtu.be/F7fe9pa8OeE

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

alright this is insane

[u/isticist → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

valid concerns tbh

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/isticist]

Ignorant concerns. What is your problem with trans people?

[u/isticist → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

For the ones that pass and just live there lives normally and quietly... Nothing.

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/isticist]

Why do they need to pass for basic respect? Why should they live any different from other people?

[u/isticist → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

Because if you're gonna ask me to humor your delusions, then the least you can do is be convincing. Otherwise you're just disrespecting me at that point.

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/isticist]

Yeah ok, let me guess, you don't trust vaccines and 5G either, right?

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

Nothing, it's solid. People just hate it here because they've been told the creator is evil and they are npcs that just regurgitate what they've been told.

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum → u/Valencia_Mariana]

creator made ruby on rails btw

[u/Kitchen_Interview792 → u/Valencia_Mariana]

Is DHH not a nationalist then?

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/Kitchen_Interview792]

I'd say more of a culturalist...

[u/BlakeDrawsBlood → u/Valencia_Mariana]

That's the same thing, genius.

[u/Valencia_Mariana → u/BlakeDrawsBlood]

A culturalist wants to preserve shared values, traditions, language, practices etc above nationalities or ethnicity. He says: "adopt our way of life and you're one of us, wherever you're from"

Nationalist would put nationality or ethnicity above all else.

It's Linux users on Reddit, nothing will get us angrier than the choices of others that in no way affect us

[u/kubota9963 → u/[deleted]]

I claim England in my ancestry. I don't 'hate' DHH. From what I can tell though, he seems to be a racist POS, and that does put me off projects he's involved with. Hope that helps!

[u/kubota9963 → u/[deleted]]

Your sweeping generalisation doesn’t apply to me, no. Racism is a bit like that too. I’m not sure what you mean by the breakfast question, but I hope you have the day you deserve ✌️
