on a related note, why is there so much goddamn hype for omarchy? as far as i can tell it's basically just an arch linux config, but every time i, against my better judgement, look at the comments of some tech thread, people are talking about how omarchy is the best thing since sliced bread. even framework have been posting about it a lot.
so my question is why??? is it literally just because it has dhh behind it? is it because i am being forced to look at the opinions whose only experience with writing code is vibecoding the latest greatest b2b saas slop in the new flashy javascript framework and then deploying it on some platform that is literally just an aws wrapper with a 1000% upcharge, whose idea of a perfect operating system is one with an llm pre-installed and a billion flashy animations happening anytime you move a window???

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Right? We had compiz 15 years ago, and it didn't come with swastikas on it.
There's a lot of hype for Omarchy because its an open endorsement of fascism disguised as a Linux distro. Its success would further entrench fascists in Linux and the FOSS ecosystem.

Absolutely. Fascists are not known for their technical prowess.
@BlueMonday1984 @themagzuz I had to look it up, and (beyond that fashhole DHH)
> Omarchy [...] ships with what a modern software developer would need to be productive immediately, including [...] Spotify, [...] and Zoom.
Yes, those are the productivity essentials for any programmer 🤪
spotify, which is a step away in the software catalogue of any distribution that includes flatpak.
@mawhrin Well, i didn't bother to dig into that. But also, I've heard rumors about a "web page" of sorts ... Unless that got scrapped 🙃
>spotify
Winamp was literally right there, do fascists now know anything beyond mindless consu- oh, wait, I answered my own question, of fucking course they are

This is the first time I've ever heard of it, and I try to stay informed about Linux and open source.
Flagged dead on HN, to nobody's surprise. There's a couple of fascists on there, but that's about it. There's more fascists on lemmy.ml, too.
