I understand that people are frustrated that the distro is getting more attention than it deserves, but to me, the product itself seems fine (apart from the developer’s politics, but if I never tried or used something made by someone I disagree with, I wouldn’t be using Lemmy). I wanted to try Hyprland, I wanted to see how useful it could be and whether I’d like it. Omarchy had a useful template that had everything important predefined and ready to go. I see a lot of people complaining about the pre-installed bloat, but a lot of it is just web apps and it’s extremely easy to remove any of it. As someone who never used Arch or Hyprland, Omarchy was an extremely useful way to get started and to learn how to use it and customise it without having to spend days figuring out how to even get the basics working.
I appreciate the deep dive, but like, I think I’m just a fundamentally different kind of computer user than this person who has an automatic warning on their website telling me to disable all javascript by default.
I’m not saying they’re wrong, just… more invested in security than I am, among other things probably.
Go with whatever you want to go, my friend! People are mad because of the politics rather than the software itself (not going to lie, THERE ARE questionable software choices, but it doesn’t change the fact that most people didn’t even check it)
Dude, the technical issues with this “distro” somehow outweigh even the creators garbage politics and that is actually the only impressive thing about Omarchy.

It is absolutely NOT fine from a technical perspective

You son of a bitch I’m in.
