| ▲ | nosioptar a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Considering his support of Tommy Robinson, I'd assume the 14 is there to make sure people know the HH is also a dogwhistle. | |
| ▲ | weaksauce a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | 1488 is a white supremacist racist dogwhistle. dhh has been parroting tony robbins stuff and other vaguely white supremacist stuff on his blog. | |
| ▲ | erxam a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 His blog is a mix of zealous out-of-touch and unloved techbro shit and the most rancid far-right essays possible. Trust me, he's earned it. It makes me feel insane that people just skip over this stuff. The guy is openly citing "people" like Tommy Robinson yet he's still a popular and respected distro guy? I'm going to commit a crime. | | |
| ▲ | rafterydj a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Oh dear. I've been using Omarchy! Had no idea. Thanks for the info. Was already kind of annoyed at the "manual" not being very comprehensive - think I'll switch to another distro or fully yank control away from Omarchy and just roll my own Arch, I guess. Depends on how much work it'll take. | |
| ▲ | furyofantares a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Oh I see, sibling comment suggests you added 14 as a like "Micro$oft"-style slur, but to call him a nazi. | | |
| ▲ | erxam a day ago | parent [-] | | Yeah. Sorry if it wasn't clear, it's a stupid habit I picked up from Twitter that I can't quite get rid of. | | |
| ▲ | furyofantares a day ago | parent [-] | | All good, not knowing this stuff about the guy I didn't connect it to 1488. It parsed as a strangely botched i18n or a16z type of abbreviation. Searching also gave me nothing but I might have X blocked. I'm glad I asked! |

| ▲ | sergiotapia a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Be a little more fair to Omarchy's strengths. It stitches together many things that work really well together. Hyperland is terrific for example and going back to windows/mac feels ancient in comparison. It's a good thing someone built omarchy. | | |
| ▲ | erxam a day ago | parent | next [-] | | That's the exclusive work of the Hyprborean dev (who himself is another giant crock of shit who I wish just wouldn't wake up ever again one day). You can install it on your normal, average Arch installation anyways. Don't need to rip everything out from the root just for a pre-configured meme distro. It's not as if Omarchy had hard forks of all the software it steals, anyways. It really is just dotfiles. | | |
| ▲ | sergiotapia a day ago | parent [-] | | it seems you're just very angry in general. maybe step away from the keyboard. | | |
| ▲ | bigyabai a day ago | parent [-] | | They do have a point. Omarchy's "credit" is that it's a downstream dotfile delivery mechanism. That's about it. Even divested of emotional arguments, "LARBS but in 2026" is the sort of deliberate toe-stubbing that people should not recommend. If you're using Hyprland without knowing how to use Hyprland, you should either 1) be using KDE/GNOME or 2) pin every single system package that you install. Hyprland does ship breaking changes, you can update your system into an unrecognizable mess. |

| ▲ | bigyabai a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Omarchy is a fine starting-point for ricing, but I generally agree with the sentiment that it's a LARP distribution for people that feel warm-fuzzies when they use a TWM. I don't think I could recommend Omarchy to other developers without insulting their intelligence, it's very much on the same level as other novelty distros like Regolith and Archlabs. |
