DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million

DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.

Oh I specifically meant I'd have to do an AI one to get all that corporate funding. I know how easy it would be to create "yet another distro". But I figured I'd actually go a bit further and potentially do a little more than Omarchy for better AI integration, while still allowing the user to 1) not opt into AI in the first place, 2) choose a level of configuration depth that fits them if they DO opt in. I've got some ideas, but they're still in my head (for a long time now) so I need to actually write it all down. Prefer not laying it out here because I don't want DHH's lackeys to find this somehow and steal my ideas, but of course if I deem them achievable in the first place, the things I want to build most would be distro agnostic and GPL'd because there's more benefit in having others use it and extend it than in locking it to one paltry distro that has, at the moment of writing, zero users because it doesn't exist yet.
