There were many amazing distros before Omarchy and there will be many after. Use whatever you want, vibecoded or not. Don't tell people what to do. Make your own decisions.


Sad that people just complain about what DHH is doing and how he doesn't know anything. Nobody is forcing anybody to use Omarchy at all. Also $10 million was raised by him for it, did anybody else here raise that for a distro? I'm tired of the constant complaining and criticizing. Nobody said you have to use it.


Nobody said you can't complaint about things unless you're forced to use them!


Well thats what I've noticed lately here on HN, complaining is #1, everything else follows. lol.


The funding for this is to pay for a culture war, not a distro.


I don't care what he's doing, I care about what he is.


He's a person, just like you are. Let him know then, he has an email and you can message him publicly on X.


> He's a person, just like you are.

He's not like me. I've never posted racist hate filled rants to the internet.


[flagged]


Are you also a big fan of Tommy Robinson?


Not sure what you mean? Are you agreeing with what DHH has said?


He clearly "suffers" from narcissistic personality disorder, trying to change him is a waste of time. Even if he was a normal person, I see no rational reason for him to change his behavior given how successful he is.


So he’s a lost cause to you? You decided already? So much doom and gloom in your response.



So what works for you: seeing him disappear from the Earth? He's not a human anymore? Have you ever spoken with him directly before? Or do you just read and write about people you've never had any real interaction with?


Why would I want to interact with a racist? There's millions of them on this planet and no one owes them anything.


What he is or what random blog posts present him as?


His own blog posts present him as what he is. Have you read them?


Some yes. I am not american, so i don't see anything particularly wrong with them. The main thing americans forget is that they are the invaders that replaced the local population and erased local culture.


This is hilarious. He isn't American and isn't talking about American in his racist rants. The people calling out his racism aren't focused on America or a majority American. His main blog post that gets called out for the blatant racism is titled "As I Remember London".


Yes, he talks about foreigners arriving and forcing change to local culture instead of adapting.



Interesting point. I'll summarise my counter response as: fuck DHH. Guy can shove an omarchy up his jacksy.


Great work! I'm a fan of the hyprland setup on Omarchy and also daily on Mac! Do you have any screenshots showing some of the tiling, apps running and what not? Looks excellent!


Yes there are 4 screenshots in the readme, it's a bit long and most of them are in the bottom. There is a plain desktop one, one for the shortcuts help menu, one tiled one and one for the custom mission control. They are in the docs folder in the repo it you just wanna check out the screenshots.


thank you!!! I missed that sorry


No worries, curious if you already see things in the screenshots that could be improved.


Spotify is rate limited so its very difficult to check now. Happy you built it, hopefully we will be able to use it soon to check our catalog.


Thanks for letting me know, I'm checking the logs now.


appreciate it! I don't want to bombard the system you set up, but very eager to check as I'm sure there could be income not collected and missing.


Appreciate it, we blew through 250K tracks in an hour, the HN hug is real. We have added more capacity.


Sounds like a solid idea


I run Nobara, which is basically a beautyfied Fedora variant. It's pure Fedora with addons that make it easier to handle for Windows-damaged users. I left Windows last year, no regrets - Nobara just works and doesn't need any attention. Support community on Discord always up to help and very friendly.


Yes Ubuntu felt very Windows-like to me. I’ve heard lots about Zorin, did you use that with KDE?


That’s hilarious.


Thanks so much, yes I like how you can go to pacman/apt and boom everything is right there! Also I’ve become much more keyboard oriented in navigating and macOS just doesn’t have the same navigation as i3, hyprland, etc. It is intimidating a bit, but I haven’t really felt a challenge on the Mac/windows side for so long that I’m looking forward to it! Thank you.


If you want a taste of i3/Hyprland you could try aerospace. It's lean, a bit clunky to use and lacks a lot of functionality, but it's the best mac option for a i3-style display manager on mac. I installed it day 1 of switching and I haven't looked back since. I'm thinking of maybe looking into adding some PRs or forking it to see if I can add some functionality to it


That’s great advice the main distros tend to have tons of support for much longer and easier to maintain I’m sure. I currently have a Mac mini m4 so I’m thinking a similar sized box with an AMD setup inside, those small mini PCs.


Awesome, I'll take a look at Toshy, too. I was looking into PopOS or CachyOS (with Cosmic). There seems to be such a vast amount of Linux distros and window managers than I remember from a good 5-10 years ago.

Everything seems to be tied to a subscription now on the Windows/Mac side in some way, its been very off putting for me.
