Apart from everything about DHH, I personally feel like the choice to invest so much money in Omarchy, of all things, shows a lack of good technical sense from the folks at 1pw. If you’re doing charitable giving, why not give to an established product that will be around in 10 years time, or one that provides core technology the other linux distros depend on? I don’t want the money I spend on 1pw going to some poorly chosen bet on a vibecoded distro, just because it’s in the SV hype limelight at the moment.


Exactly, Omarchy is little more than a wrapper around Arch, why not just donate to Arch directly?

The entire thing has a smell to it, like theres some weird tax avoidance happening or something.


Not even a technically well executed wrapper around Arch.

Just a guy's meh level config.

I feel like releasing a distro based around Niri and calling it Omarcomin


Because Arch itself is run by a cesspool of leftist idealogs that will ban anyone that disagree with them politically. - They banned the XLibre project from the Arch wiki and repos - They rejected DHH's offer to work together to improve the Arch AUR and to work on aarch64 support for mainline.
