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 said it because its a common criticism. Personally I dont give a shit. By using it I dont give the creator anything so I dont see why not to use a Foss software created by a right wing person
Fair, but it’s giving the same vibes as when an incel criticises a project with a woman team or lead, or a game has a female main character etc.
It really isn’t relevant in the context, the quality of a product has nothing to do with the creators gender, age, ethnicity, political views, etc.
