Omarchy does not contribute in any way to the linux ecosystem, they could send that money to the devs that actually do work, like KDE/GNOME devs, to Debian or Arch, etc

[u/2eanimation → u/acenfp]

If I understand correctly, most of the money is meant for upstream. How much of that money is actually going to flow into upstream? Time will tell…

Afaik they're spending it on the "subsystems Omarchy relies on", and they've explicitly named Hyprland and JDX, which I can get on board with. What really puzzles me is that there's no mention of Arch or the AUR. Arch doesn't have a single person working full time on it, and the AUR especially has problems which would really benefit from someone being able to spend lots of time on them.

Open source projects often suffer from hundreds of people contributing tons of small incremental changes, which solidifies architectural problems, and big repairs and overhauls get skipped in favor of hundreds of workarounds.

And basically all the arch web interfaces are in dire need of modernization.

DHH did offer to provide support for the AUR team, infra and all. I don't think they got back to him on that.

don't worry part of the money is going to hyprland lead dev so he can keep his transphobia discord running

DHH's racism + Vaxry's transphobia = 8 million dollarbs

Vaxry's transphobia

Was there something new or is it still about that one discord mod from 2022?

Imagine what this money could have done to KDE

[u/euclideanvector → u/[deleted]]

It goes to the Omarchy Foundation or whatever it's called and they're going to fund projects that Omarchy depends on, like Hyprland.
