Oh god no stop
I’m new. Why do we not like Omarchy?
It’s headed by a racist, and a suspicious amount of money has been flooding into the project for no discernible reason other than his questionable politics.
And it's essentially just preconfigured Arch Linux for people with the attention span of a grapefruit, but who think that they'll impress anyone by installing this nonsense, instead of just going for some standard distro and throwing a random tiling wm onto it...
Ah, thanks for the heads-up.
There's a whole ass-website that explains why:
https://stopomarchy.org/
If Alibaba is not there as part of a governmental bid to destabilise the US, I don't even understand what do they do it for
I would spread this website too, if it was written more seriously and without cheeky style. There are real issues brought up on this page, it's just looks like propaganda that I cannot take it seriously and cannot recommend others to read.
I didn't get that impression. Can you provide an example?
Example of what? I'm talking about the entire webpage, not a specific phrase. I'm talking about the style how it is presented (look and how the words are used). It's not a specific example to give, the entire site is not something I would link to.
You're going to have to give examples, because it reads as a very straightforward statement of facts to me.
To be fair, this one tells the reader how you should feel:
Could have stopped after the first sentence.
Example of what? I am talking about the website as a whole, not a specific part.
Of it being "cheeky" and "looks like propaganda", you know, the only things you've actually said. It looks like a no nonsense list of factual statements to me, what's so cheeky about that? What about the facts or style of website makes them cheeky? There must be some specific element or combination of elements that make you think that.
Can't you read? It looks like propaganda and I don't like the look of it. I cannot recommend this site because of it, because it doesn't look like something I can take seriously. I am not talking about the facts.
So what about it looks like propaganda? Why can't you take it seriously? The font? The colours? The paragraph structure? All you've said is you don't like it without even saying what you don't like. If it's not the words what is it?
It shows things you're supposed to not like in red, and things you're supposed to like in green. What if I want to be skeptical and enjoy a succulent read of a far-right manifesto? /s
If you don't like red and green you can read this:

Omarchy itself vibe coded. It integrates all sorts of Ai and LLM into the system for easy use, and to analyze the system with Ai. The slogan was or is "it's for LLM agents". Big Ai supportive companies give this organization millions of money. So all in all, this is a slop distribution, by slop developers, for slop users. As a result the operating system is very unsecure and had lot of issues. Issues that should never be, like default configurations that exposes for no reasons. And it's not like only haters say this, even the developer DHH itself acknowledge this and says it will be better in future. He directly accepts these critics in interviews. As if in if he accepts it it becomes acceptable?
Then the lead developer is DHH, who is very disliked for his unhuman opinions. And we are talking about serious topics here, not a little offtopic joke. Just to add to the fuel.
the vibe coded part is is pretty unimportant. if it was just a vibe coded distro, it would be quickly forgotten by most Linux users except in memes, and the only people who would use it are the AI tech bro influencers and their vapid followers.
the real issue here is the insane amounts of money many corporations are giving someone who consistently voices racist theories on his blog.
