Omarchy, Omarchy! It’s Linux, for nazis!
Everyone saw this coming.
Really laying it on thick now
Nazis back Nazis… More at 11
I use Arch*, BTW.
*Arch=EndeavourOS
lol some bigot loser 'we’re not political! 'who never used Linux before getting all this money and surprise he has little understanding, hence still a shitty release.
I tried it for a few weeks unfortunately just so i can see the trash first hand. and it is buggy, not intuitive to use, full of shit webapps for crap platforms and worthless because all of that agentic crap that you’d want can be easily done on a base arch install.
After Chis Titus video, I am only going to ransack the quickshell configs. I really need some references on how to structure it. Don’t worry, I also read some other configs and I am not aiming for ultimate eyecandy.
What happened or what information was the issue in that said video? I stopped watching Chris Titus for a long time (when he ditched Linux and went back to Windows, its years ago now).
Oh, he just made a point, that for him, it is worth to take some of its ideas and implement them into his own config. And I kinda feel the same about my sway setup.
Basically, it has cool stuff and you can read the configs and take what you like.
omarchy really doesn’t make any sense as a distro. If someone really wants an agent, Why have all that slop prepackaged when you can just generate it yourself and have swim in your own slop.
Are they really pegging their success on attracting people who can’t even copy paste a basic Hermes agent install script?
Yeah these people don’t stay with Linux and they’re attracting short lived attention and that’s it.
I kind of enjoy seeing these corporations donators burn their money and also their reputation.
What a goddamn joke
Just gonna shamelessly leave these two paragraphs out of the website of my own distro here.
Hope you get 1M.
I hate the phrase “X$ in compute” so much. What does that even mean? It could mean a 1.5 million dollar value worth of donated time on one of their servers, or it could mean a hardware donation, or it could be a cash donation that is earmarked for server upgrades/chip purchases. Ever since AI took off it’s become such a common turn of phrase to use “compute” like this. As if the amount of money spent tells you anything useful about the amount of things they can “compute” now. Costs are so variable and spread out across many different areas that it changes day by day, and by which vendor you use, or what part of the world you are in, or all kinds of other things.
Maybe I’m just behind the times and it has some specific meaning now I’m not aware of. Either way it annoys me.
Compute means CPU/GPU time and has meant it for ages
So what does “1.5mil$ in CPU/GPU time” mean then? It doesn’t make sense. That’s not a standardized unit of time. Are we talking tokens like with AI? Whatever SpaceX’s going rate is to use their servers? Some other commercial service? That’s why I don’t like it being used like this. It would be like me saying I am donating 1.5 million dollars of “food” to the homless. Like that’s great right, but what the fuck do I mean by food? I could be giving them rice and beans, caviar, or anything in between. Meal vouchers to mcdonalds, or working with soup kitchens. It’s just vague.

While I agree Linux is inherently anti fragile and can survive enshittification by corporate goons, that amount of money that this dot file Linux installer will have a heavy effect on what projects get funded and which ones are left to their own.
There’s a nice donate page on the archlinux site and let me guess how much they’ll get from this foundation when afaik the arch team had turned down whatever partnership the dot file installer guy wanted. Should come anyways no strings attached right? Considering they’re funding hyprland. So using arch as a base would imply they would fund them no strings attached… Right? lol
Not gonna happen with torvalds at the wheel (pun intended)
But once the penguin caretaker goes to another userland, then who knows?
How much compute does dot-files actually need…? /shrug
isn’t it SpaceXSI now 🤣
Its almost as if DHH and those transphobes over at Hyprland(not to mention Lunduke, Luke Smith, Distrotube, and the various cadre of right wing little bissh boys on YouTube) all forgot about Linus Torvalds.
As far as I’m concerned Linux is for the left. But heck when an ideology like fascism is born out of grifting off left wing ideology (i.e. See Mussolini’s socialist/anarchist father), the right can just appropriate whatever they want…but they’ll still always be little bissh boys to me.
Probably the coolest comment Linus ever made
Based af
Sounds like he may be a socially progressive liberal.
He’s not american, so no.
He’s one of the few cool high profile Europeans to move here!
He lives in the US though so should we be using European or American terms? In American terms he absolutely is a liberal, based on all the stances mentioned, whereas in European terms, liberal more or less means capitalist
wouldn’t even go that far, the examples he mentioned are pretty uncontroversial at this point
Wow. That went from Linus said something I agree with to Linus is a twat really fucking fast.
No. No… No it didn’t. Did you perhaps run it through a bad translator?
“Hey, Omarchy! Uninstall Omarchy.”
$1.5 million in compute = actual expense for Elmo is zero as Elmo’s datacenter is massively overprovisioned and is currently leasing compute to all their competitors
But of course Elmo needs to send a message to the world: “please avoid this distro”
