How confident are people that Omarchy will be well maintained in the future?

I'm considering making that same switch from MacOS to Arch, but I'm not sure if I should have confidence in something like Omarchy which is relatively new.

Why does it need to be maintained? It's just an install script to install common apps on Arch and to install and configure Hyprland. It's not really a distro on its own.

Hyprland might change. Other apps that are installed or even compiled might go stale or change. The chaotic-aur in use might change or need replacing. Arch or upstream packages might make changes causing issues eg some recent issue with a session manager that broke a lot of installs.

Etc.

DHH made Omarchy the official developer distro/setup in his company, so it has the support of the stable commercial entity known for its support of open source projects.

If we look at how involved DHH has been with Rails since its inception, I trust Omarchy will follow the same path. This is his daily driver, and I don't think that will change after what happened with 37Signals vs. Apple.

Adding to this, they are moving all developers at 37Signals over over the next few years, so I figure it will be quite maintained.
