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.
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m so fucking sick of this shit called omarchy. It’s literally everywhere related to Linux: in my mastodon feed, in my Lemmy feed, on YouTube! Someone is pushing it like a corporate product and I hate it. Plus, it’s created and pushed by a fascist. Fuck that too!
I’m just now hearing about it, but I believe you.
So many pieces of shit on these forums come here just to shill garbage.
MX Linux had it a few years back, then Garuda, now it looks like omarchy is the distro that “popped up out of nowhere” and magically everyone is talking about it.
Hell yes. And every time I see it pop up, these points come up, usually a bunch of times. So people know this shit is trouble, and it’s still blowing up.
Calm like a bomb, he is
This seems, stink and feel like dogshit
I’m of mixed views about this. Omarchy is popular purely because of DHH. I don’t see anything of benefit beyond the notoriety of a famous dev.
There’s also some dissenting opinion about DHH in general that taints the project: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html
Being based on hyprland also has some potential social issues.
I don’t get why cloudflare didn’t donate to arch instead.
Thanks for making me aware of the authors’ blatant fascism.
I agree. This whole project deserves a good bit of skepticism, on political, social, and technical grounds.
at least it wasn’t “omakase”, though i suspect omarchy is a derivative of that word. dhh was insufferable during the rails peak and he seems to still be today.
Fuuuuck… wtf. Anyone know an alternative?
I watched the video. It’s good to see Linux getting more attention. This and Gamers Nexus’ video.
