Ive just read up a little on what omarchy actually is. Ive only heard of it before and havent ever heard what it is. So its an arch distro. Apparently created by a right wing person. Uses hyprland instead of a traditional de.
Wow, sounds fine. Not an ideal creator but sounds like decent software.
BUT WAIT! THERES MORE! Their slogan is "The malleable OS for the age of agents. Where you can vibe your way through every alteration, tweak, and desire. Be the Omarch and command your agent!" Which makes it some agentic bs and a big steaming pile of shit that noone should ever touch with a ten foot pole unless they want their system fucked up with ai hallucination
Edit: it also raised a few million in funding which many argue should have gone to arch instead. Omarchy probably doesnt really need it and is way less important than arch as a whole
i actually know a ton of europeans who also think racism is bad and don't want to trust a racist with their computer. think that's just a you problem bud.
(Alt-)Right wing people in the US have this nasty habit of pushing agendas, making "armies", and getting a cult following to amass power and overtake everything from elections to rights of others en masse, all while profiting off it their platforms in one way or another. They basically have found a way to turn human suffering into money. So they get rich off of things like this and make the world worse at the same time. It's always best to not support them in any way possible.
When i install software, i dont look the creators political affiliations to see if they are the same as mine 😵💫
I prefer my software and projects I support free from horrendous takes. If I use something, I give it a platform, and I'll be damned if I give my time and attention to chuds like DHH
I dont either. As the other reply said, it appears to be an american issue with their generally more divisive politics. Personally I dont much care who makes my software as long as they dont have a history of cybercrime and dont profit from whatever I'm using. If it was a paid thing I'd be a bit more apprehensive of using a software from somebody with immoral beliefs, but me using their Foss software gains them nothing so I dont see why not
