maybe i should build something like omarchy that isn't, you know, omarchy

a lot of people do not understand what omarchy actually *is* and why it is making progress where traditional distributions have failed.

they focus on the fact that omarchy *is* a vanity distro, that it is basically a collection of configuration files and some shell scripts gluing them together.

and omarchy is that.

but omarchy is also marketing and devrel, and a consolidation of the linux experience into a product format.

in fact, that is most of what omarchy actually *is*.

building a technical community that understands & executes on these things would be the goal of what i propose building

@ariadne A consolidation of the linux experience... to what audience?

I have no interest in pleasing the audience Omarchy is appealing to.

I might have an interest in pleasing the audience your competing product would appeal to, depending on what it is.

@ska we should want to, because many of the users of omarchy are most likely not fascists, but just want to think of linux as a product, in the same way they think of macOS and Windows as products.

@ariadne @ska They most likely are installing it because the YouTubers they watch have done "publicherries" (ads disguised as reviews) of Omarchy. It also appeals to 'for power users' with a gazillion different hotkeys. That is not Linux as a product imho. Not sure if they have more users than Arch for example.
