Ah yes, the solution to software with massive security holes is for everyone to vibe code their own software with massive security holes.

But in all seriousness, I am running omarchy now, and I will almost definitely be switching to arch at some point in the future.

Sadly, true. I know a person who gets AI news from that YouTuber and quotes him like he’s a household name and pays him for some repackaged chat models. It’s tedious and hard to talk to them about basic/remedial aspects because their education from YouTube is half-heard and superficial. I’m trying to get him to invest the time in hands-on experience and then we can talk about that. When you’re deep into these channels, you’re not gaining experience and you can’t easily start until you pull away.

There is only so much a human can master in his lifetime. And if you choose to master the art of video production, then you are probably not spending that much time on mastering the thing you yap about on camera…

Not a single mention of Pirate Software yet?

as primarily influencers they make money from your attention, not from promoting or making good software.

I like the very non-windows very non-mac ui of omarchy.

Fedora is an arse to use. most of the distros for non free software are targeted at stable RHEL, so are miles out of date.

You only get 6 months of updates, at which point everything break subtly, or not if you use nvidia.

ubuntu with a custom GUI is the way forward, at least compared to fedora.

is there a fedora 44 ws with non free package built in ?

> As a developer who mostly wants a Mac-like Linux distro without the associated noise

I'm required to use Ubuntu at work. Coming from Mac, apart from the menu bar at the top, on Gnome, I've been able to customize the keyboard shortcuts, remap the keyboard so that Ctrl works like Cmd, and use extensions like Dash to Dock[1] and themes like Whitesur[2] to replicate something that almost works like a Mac.

The keyboard remapping and customizing keyboard shortcuts were all done within default the default settings app.

The only things missing are some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+A/V to move to the beginning and end, and the Ctrl+Shift+C/V behavior on the terminal instead of Cmd+C, which I've just worked around by using VSCode's terminal and configuring it to copy when I press Ctrl+C with some text selected.

Why doesn't Ubuntu fit the bill? You can even install hombrew on it. Everything works like a mac with no fuss.

Also the only reason I left Linux was due to hardware. Ubuntu was convenient enough.

> In a different way you can see this in this thread where instead of discussing why Omarchy has the bug

There's nothing interesting to discuss. Rootless OCI-compliant containers exist, and Omarchy ignored them. The "convenience" of the solution they chose simultaneously opens an enormous attack surface that the maintainers didn't consider.

This is why I don't believe the "give me a macOS distro" people - even Apple wouldn't do this. If you want a preconfigured Mac-like distro, then you should use GNOME and not a pre-riced desktop with hundreds of dotfiles. You don't have to use Arch either, you can go with a graphical install of Fedora or CachyOS if you want. This will give you a system that you can understand, maintained by people with a minimum standard of quality, that actually resembles the workflow of macOS. There is no Niri or Sway rice that will magically make your system make sense, and this is why I think a lot of the Mac and Windows expats should just use a normal desktop.

> if you encounter a problem with Arch and ask about it

It's probably already documented on Arch wiki or it's a generic Linux issue that has already been solved by someone (that has been my experience with Cachy).

Basic docker users are the same as angry haters I guess.
