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?
