So preface, I am extremely OOTL with the distros. I have my Fedora box for work and its been running just fine for 5 years now. Before that i am an Arch btw user with i3 config riced to the max. I wanted to get actual work done so i stuck with Fedora and have not attempted any other distros.

Anyway, this Omarchy seems like a big deal? Idk everywhere i search, people are saying stuff like it is the best thing for Linux. Recently, there was news that Omarchy actually got funded for like $8 million?? The money comes from some big names too: Dell, DHH, Stripe, Jack Dorsey…etc. The dev who is working on Hyprland also indirectly benefits from this funding.

Is this going to become a serious corporate backed distro? We have Redhat for that right? Or is this just hype

      If, but people have used Linux for 30 years, and there’s tons of software for it.

      I appreciate Valve’s contributions to Linux a million times more than these donations to racism.

      I just think there’s a sizeable gap between “nobody” using something and the mass market appeal encouraged by corporate interests

        Agreed - things aren’t black or white.

        After all, only a Sith deals in absolutes ;p
