1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

“popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.”
I’ve literally never heard of it.
I only know of it because I was on Distro Watch this week looking for top mention distros I never heard of. The mentions position is likely because of this donation. lol
It’s yet another distro being shilled by god knows who on YouTube and other social media.
The fact that it’s being pushed so hard without anything of note about it is already suspicious to me.
Oh well if you’ve never personally heard of it, it must not be popular, right?
yeah this is like a bunch of other internet things where I kinda hate it even seeing it. for me its not a thing of interest.
Popular for Linux, not popular for Marvel movies.
Still not convinced it’s very popular.
I’ve seen a handful of videos about it recently that have been pushed into my algorithm. There’s definitely a campaign to get it out to influencers. Never heard of it prior to this week.
It’s just a fork of Arch, with tiling, that’s been slop coded with AI. Something anyone could recreate without AI in a couple hours if they’re familiar with Arch.
It’s not even a fork or an actual distribution or anything. It’s just Arch Linux with a bunch of dotfiles made using AI and some pre-installed packages.
But could you recreate it with $30mil and AI‽

Touche.
