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.

Wasn’t Omarchy literally just a couple of dotfiles for Arch and a easy Installer?
It is currently more than that, and it even has its own repos/mirrors, but the fact that basically every rich person is throwing money at this project should be a huge warning sign to everyone to avoid this.
But at the end of the day, it’s nothing revolutionary. It’s customized Linux with a tiling window manager, all funded by billionaires and developed by a turbo racist.
Except for the very last part (I hope…), it’s the case of most “funky crazy distro” out there.
It also has a few native apps now.
Which are slop.
