It shows a picture of a AI generated image of a king and queen referencing them as Omarchy users. Then it shows a floating icon of a jester representing Linux users that pops up some of the following quotes:
- The peasants whiper the whole distro castle vibe-coded
- It’s a bunch of dotfiles
- Ricing is not engineering, my liege
- Congratulations, you have discovered i3
- Two JPEG’s, a gradient, and delusions of monarchy
- Zero days since the last zero day, sire
- Coronation was on Tueday, the build was red
- Wait until they hear about NixOS
- It’s not a distro, . It’s a theme folder with a domain name
- It’s the worst distro in the market, they cry. Its not even a distro
I believe this whole thing was done in response of some “monarchy” and “oligarchy” comments on Omarchy around the fediverse. It is also sometimes weird to get the “joke” because the speaker changes.
No idea what is going on and who all those people are. What is Omarchy?
I suspect sarcasm, but for the chance it is not… from my understanding:
Omarchy is a Linux operating system based on Archlinux. It has some customization and pre-installed software. But its highly controversal, mostly because of political statements (which are pretty bad) and on technical level, the operating system has some huge (security) problems.
No sarcasm. Never heard about them and didn’t care enough even to google it. Thanks for the data.
Would be a shame if the people who align with their politics all adopted a poorly secured distro and got pwned.
