Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!
I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.
This issue represents all you need to know about omarchy.
There is also this:
DHH proudly advertises that the main branch of their repository is called master instead of main, to own the libs or something.is that really the biggest problem of the world right now?
Cunts like DHH are trying to turn Linux into yet another nazibar and you are questioning me on calling it out?
I just rather want to have open-source software separate from politics if you don’t mind.
EDIT: And before people saying I’m a nazi or something… I’m not.
I do in fact mind as non-political is usually just code for “lets be horrible to women and minorities, and if you say anything you are being political”; besides I don’t think you could describe both the free software software and the later open source software movement as anything other than political.
You think allowing weird slavery shit in the community will bring more people in?
Having open source literally is political as it stands opposed to close and proprietary code. You can’t have it without being political.
Remind me, what problem does calling it “Main” solve?
What does switching from the default name ‘main’ back to master achieve; and why are they advertising this on xitter? On an unrelated note, do you know what a dog whistle is?
It doesn’t really matter what they call it, does it? Just like changing the name to “main” didn’t achieve anything.
Words have multiple definitions. The definition that git’s usage is based on is:
an original movie, recording, or document from which copies can be made. “the master tape” synonyms: original, archetype, prototype
This shouldn’t have been “problematic” either way. It’s just all virtue signals. We aren’t rushing to rename Master Degrees are we?
I’m a long time rails dev, and I gotta say seeing DHH as the face of this was enough to send me on my merry way.
Edit: ok, well also seeing mechahitler on the front page.
Yeah… DHH is one of the last people’s opinions I’ll listen to lol
Hope people who use omarchy are happy, it really feels like an ADHD project he’ll burn out on but we’ll see. Then again, I’ve already been using linux for ever, so he has nothing to sell me honestly. A vast majority of devs use VS Code. Why would they switch to vim? Anyone who already has a preferred non-vim editor… why would they use omarchy? They’ll hate it and just say linux sucks because it requires a weird vim install.
And plus, his announcement video on stage basically said the whole point of Omarchy is so he can make sure his expensive employees aren’t killing his profit margins by wasting precious wealth generation time setting up their laptops to develop rails apps. Don’t really care for that being the whole purpose of a distro.
I didn’t watch the video, that last part there is disgustingly on brand for him.
Omarchy is also backed by Cloudflare.
Don’t promote fascist bullshit: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html.
Soooooo it’s Arch with a bunch of shit you don’t need. I mean that’s it? nothing improved? performance tweaks? custom kernel? it’s just arch with hyprland and I think a custom menu purely for styling? oh and the hyprland config opens Twitter for you too with a keybind…wow.
custom kernel from a web dev💀
Fuck DHH
