    Omarchy's definitely been polarizing. I've been using it since the first release and its been my daily driver for the last few months. Folks can say what they want about DHH and argue that Omarchy is just dot files... but hot damn if it doesn't give me the breath of fresh air I needed from the Apple ecosystem. I've always loved Linux, but could never stick around. I didn't have the patience for the constant tweaking or trying to figure out how to properly scale display resolution. Omarchy offers some great convention out of the box and is being worked on by a passionate group of people. That's part of what has made the internet great. We're in a new era, why not have a little fun with it?

      If by "people can say what they want" means some people are ok to dismiss casual racism because it doesn't affect them and they can enjoy the fruits, so be it.

      I tried it out and it has some interesting perks, but will ultimately suffer from a smaller community.

      We know how much rails suffered before it had to grow up and scale, instead of "just buy more servers". This doesn't mean it's wrong, or right, only that it's not universal.

      My guess is omarchy outright, or some of it's experience will transfer to other distros.

      And I finally got an intro to ArchLinux where I got to spend more time using instead of tinkering. I value building more than tinkering or sys admining even if I know how to do it.

        It's ok to downvote this, doesn't mean it has to be comfortable to have some chats, it's where we all can learn by starting with ourselves.

        Edit:

        Not fishing for upvotes.

        It's ok to realize something you liked using might come from something that's not good and working through that.
