This project has received money because it has drawn people to linux. I can still appreciate open-source code even if it’s written by an ass hat.

  1. This project has received money because a bunch of rich CEOs are friends with DHH.
  2. These people like what DHH holds as his ideology and promote similar rightwing xenophobic ideas.
  3. The project itself isn't innovating in the space. The likes of NixOS come to mind when you think what's new in the field.
  4. Omarchy is a bundle of software and AI. The image is 6 GB because it's Arch + dotfiles + software.
