omarchy is not a distro

https://abyss.fish/your_dotfiles_are_not_a_distro

hated on the thing since I first spotted it and dismissed it, never to think about it again - doing everything wrong and then adding the shittiest of solutions, who's gonna fall for that, right? but that thing is gaining and this post and recent threads just make me irrationally angry.

oh, the thing is also vibecoded. if you had any reservations about letting this idiocy loose on your data, there's a relief, huh? head bozo detects ever-so-subtle AGI whilst slop-fondling and easily "verifies" 30K LoC that was shat out. stomach-churning shit.

not to mention, said bozo is doubling down on his fash idiocies. I wish I was making half of this up.

DHH is a self-entitled quisling who deserves to be consigned to the dustbin of history along with his fascist opinions and worthless dotfile collection that he calls a "distro".

I agree with the post and the OP but the more we talk about him the longer it will take everyone to forget he exists; the inevitable consequence of his own delusion and incompetence.

For real. Had OP not mentioned it, I would have never heard about it. Don't feed the trolls.

I wish half of what you said was even understandable.

What don't you get? 😂

First of all, it's pretentious to speak as if you belong to the youth as an old man. Second of all, AGI? head bozo? Stop trying so hard.

Zos_Kia@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 95d

Their comments prove that even humans can produce slop and it's every bit as shit as the ai kind...

It litterally calls it self an "opinionated distro" thats so many red flags smashed together that it hurts.

I don't like DHH

I don't like or use OMARCHY

But don't you think you help push this? I have not heard anything about omarchy for moths until your post.

for moths

I tried to resist, but I am drawn to this typo like a month to the flame

Fair enough my fluttery friend

I was wholly ignorant of its state and the recent developments regarding head bozo and thought a share of the above is in order. if you can find a single affirmative letter in my rant that somehow propagates the subject, bully for you.

any publicity is good publicity

That's the problem here

schwim@piefed.zip · 22 pts · 96d

dismissed it, never to think about it again

The existence of your post here would indicate differently.

Omarchy is so bad I'm shocked anyone uses it. Worst of all worlds. The creator genuinely seems like a moron.

Omarchy is for people who can't be bothered to run a Hyprland config script. So sad I'm embarrassed for people to call it Linux.

Wasn't that the one that Framework donated to? Or am I confusing it with Hyprland?

That's what it was! I remember there was a reason Framework was on my no buy list. It was mostly because they double downed on it. And that they personally run it is an additional reason now that it's come out it's slop coded too.

yessikg@fedia.io · 2 pts · 92d

They donated to both, the Omarchy donation was done by giving DHH's Ruby conference money

I don't really have any problem with the thing by itself, I honestly don't even know that much about it. I just hate everything that gains publicity just because there is a certain name behind it. Which is what happened with omarchy.

Didn't know that it was AI slop as well. That's kinda sad...

mans, a popular man at that, just sharing his preferred setup. omarchy is just preconfigured arch and hyprland, btrfs and some chrome app containers and preconfigured. he’s pretty much onboarding a lot of mac users - especially the ones willing to use asahi, towards linux.

curbstickle@anarchist.nexus · 26 pts · 96d (4 replies)

He's a piece of shit, to be clear.

desmosthenes@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 96d (3 replies)

oh yea - but that isn’t what we’re talking about here

desmosthenes@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 96d (2 replies)

at least in the blog post

curbstickle@anarchist.nexus · 6 pts · 96d (1 reply)

Post text comments on it, thats why I wanted to point out - aside from getting shitty configs and the personal preferences of a piece of shit, using it also continues to have that piece of shit's ego stroked, which is part of the problem. Since it is, after all, just a bunch of dotfiles for arch, and not much more.

desmosthenes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 96d

yea unfortunately assholes run the world :/ rails powers a lot of shit, github, figma, shopify.. a lot of those are shitty companies now too..

lumpyluggage@lemmy.world · -16 pts · 96d (1 reply)

I use it and I love it. Sorry you are so angry. Hope you feel better soon

padreug@programming.dev · 1 pts · 95d

DHH doesn't rub me the right way from the small glimpse i've seen, but I really enjoyed using Omarchy as someone who only joined the linux gang several years ago and never really understood the dotfile/config structure
