The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views.

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.

    Its not even a distro. Its arch with dotfiles. Literally.

    No repos, no custom packages, etc. Just arch with sloppy dotfiles.

      You can hate DHH, but that’s a straight up lie. They have repos, custom packages. They have an ISO installer, mirrors, even a custom kernel. If that’s not a distro then what is?

      They have repos now, but nothing in them is too advanced, and they absolutely do not deserve the money. GNU/Linux Mint offers THREE great desktop experiences, which are not kitsch slop (even if you don’t like them, they’re very high-quality) and have a much smaller budget.
