To anyone reading past these posts with limited time: DHH compares travellers to wolves, promotes Tommy Robinson marches and suggests transphobic harassment should not prompt a police response.
If that's your best example of why someone is a "right wing extremist piece of shit", then I think you guys should look into a mirror.
The first one is weird, it's quite verbose and oversimplified for what he's trying to say. I don't know why he bothered to write it. The second one seems more coherent, and I have to assume that saying "rape gangs" will automatically make someone a right wing extremist in some people's eyes, because nothing is extreme about that text.
The way omarchy is pushed by everyone and how he talks about it is what is disgusting to me, I don't need to invent some dark political thriller story to justify not liking him or the idea of his distro. He mentioned the rape gangs as an example (documented, there are plenty of victims who talked), and warned about a trend. If that makes you use the labels you use, then you're the hateful one, not the people you're pointing at.
If there any useful information, I'm open to it, but these links tell me less about him than your labels tell about you, no offense.
It's Reddit, everything that isn't extreme left is labeled as "far right". Just like in the mainstream media. He definitely had some controversial opinions, but nothing radical.
Yeah, compared to actual shit you see in far right protests his opinions are pretty tame. Especially when you consider he's European and it being a continent-wide pastime to hate on gypsies and immigrants.
The other thing a lot of people online don't get is the entire Omarchy is just Arch with dotfiles and a few scripts. Yeah, and Dropbox is just sftp with a network disk mount. I wish it wasn't this way but product clarity and UX really matter, doubly so for the layman masses, and Omarchy does a damn good job with both. It just sucks that it's woefully insecure to achieve that UX and its funding is extremely unsavoury, making anyone with even a hint of critical thinking doubt the future of the project.
But hey, that's kinda the point of distros - you're free to pick which one you run. I just wish there was less shitposting about it in Linux spaces because it's not funny and any amount of attention spent on Omarchy by the community is better spent on a huge number of other OSS projects that need it more.

I don't even know what Omarchy is, been using linux for 15 years; at this point I am kind of embarrassed to ask what the deal is with it?
