I can't help but shake off the feeling that too much about Omarchy is
not from an objective analysis, but promo-bias. I noticed this on
distrowatch recently, but also on the ruby/rails reddit thread here:
Now - personally I have not tried Omarchy, because I have no need for it.
I compile about 99% of what I do from source, via ruby scripts, and if I
need something I add it, if time permits. Most of the time I stay on the
terminal/commandline and just do things there; sometimes I use the browser,
editor, rarely mpv for local stuff, evince for pdf reading. I think that
covers around 90% of the uses I have on linux. I have no need for a special
linux distribution, having first built LFS in around 2006 or so.
With that out of the way ... I don't like the AI slop, so using AI slop
generated distributions, is already an instant nope for me. But even aside
from that, I don't fully understand why Omarchy exists. With all the money
that the big boys inject, I have a slight suspicion that this is a corporate
linux project. I have no interest in that.
Also, aside from this, ever since DHH tried to manipulate readers into
connecting homeless people to shooting down wolves, is the moment I stopped
caring about DHH. The guy is nuts. And if you read the above comment, it seems
he finally decided to abandon ruby and rails - that would be great, but in
reality it is actually not, since ruby already went into extinction decline.
Matz or Hiroshi Shibata only "communicating" with others through AI spam slop,
is also another last-entry into the coffin situation now. It's sad. It seems
as if some folks are so convinced about AI that they don't understand that it
causes a lot of damage and problems. Some noticed this, others did not. And you
can not change anything here either.
As for the linked in webpage:
> For the AI companies, David presents a strong offer: he’s building a distro from the ground up made for token maxxing.
I can't evaluate this, but it would make sense. The Big Bros want money and influence, so their mercenaries will do all they can to further this goal. These are the modern economic hitmen; people such as Sebastian Kurz (suddenly he is a millionaire, one of the top 100 richest folks in Austria, thanks to AI spam slop). I am sorry but I am too old to not call bullshit on any of these. The USA is basically run by a syndicate - Trump is just making this more obvious due to his dementia, but there is so much money behind that sustains criminal energy. By the way, how big was the Epstein network really? Only Ghislaine is in prison. She has organised all of this on her own? Or even with Jeffrey, two people organised all those sexy parties for the superrich? Anyway, we know with Trump in charge, we'll never get any real answers to that.

I am glad to not be the only one distrustful about Omarchy. I bet in a few years people will be surprised how their private data "accidentally" leaked to the Big Bros. Thanks to Spymarchy, formerly known as Omarchy.

Some of the pro-Omarchy comments are strange.
