Cachyos will forever be the ideal Arch distro for nerds who want the benefits of Arch without the hassle of Arch (until they support some giant racist or soemthing)
of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.
popular?! According to whom?
From Omarchy's site:
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!
Wtf

Maybe I should sell my dotfiles? 🤔
They're currently in the finding out phase.
As bad as the "Nazi bar" problem seems to be in FOSS at the moment, it is definitely heartening to consistently see how immediate and overwhelming the pushback has been. I think it says a lot about the community, and it's a good thing.
Out of the loop... "Nazi bar"?
When/how/why did DHH fall off so bad? There was a time when he was (at least vocally) shitting on Jeff Bezos, Chamath, and a few other "friends"
Probably around the time he started writing blog posts about how there’s too many brown people in London, or comparing Romani to invasive predator species?
Being against a few horrible people doesn’t automatically make you a good guy…
I've emailed their customer service explaining why I'll be dropping them as soon as my subscription renews.

"popular distribution"? Omarchy is neither of those two words, is it?

Obviously growing in popularity. That's what aggressive marketing usually gets you.
If you don't like that, perhaps consider stop talking about it, and him. Instead, every second week somebody writes an article about "DHH is fascist". What the fuck do they think the effect of those articles is?
Are people actually so dumb that they think accusing him of fascism will make him disappear? That's like high-octane clickbait fuel.
Same with Trump et alia. It's garmonbozia.

I wouldn't have heard of Omarchy if not for the controversies of its creator. So yeah that is one way to become popular.

Why does this shit distro deserve all this funding and support? There's many better options doing a lot more for the ecosystem yet this gets the attention. It's don't understand.
It uses AI to fix issues and errors. And billionaires need people to use AI as much as possible.

1Password does not endorse hateful, dehumanizing, or exclusionary views, including those shared publicly by DHH.
Except... ya just did. Big 'ol cashy money endorsement.
Or did you forget about that already? Because we didn't.
Art / artist.
"popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy."
