the tech industry fervor over Omarchy is so fucking confusing to me that i'm honestly starting to wonder if it's just money laundering. over TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS for a fascist's dotfiles and bash scripts is patently insane

@davidcelis I always liked it when distros made things easier for newbies but this one is just plain stupid defaults and for once, I'll be an annoying elitist "if you claim to be an advanced user or want to became one but you pick this trash of a wannabe distro, instead of I don't know reading the archwiki and installing arch that way and configuring whatever WM by again reading docs, then you are not a true advanced user but just a noob wanting to be called an expert".

@pikachu_sensei @davidcelis I mean easier Arch distros already exist. Manjaro immediately springs to mind. EndeavourOS doesn't look to be anti anything they're for per se even. So, regardless, they're definitely not providing anything new or different.
Honestly, I'm leaning towards the OP being right that there are some suspicious scammy things going on here. Definitely some money laundering, but who knows... At the very least they want to put something dangerous out there...

@nazokiyoubinbou @davidcelis I was saying that because youtubers are presenting this spin ( it definitely isn't a distro) like a user friendly option for newbies that don't want to configure a WM. It isn't and honestly catchy os is a much better option for people who want a pre-configured setup, although I wouldn't recommend new linux users anything arch based because when things go wrong, it's not a pleasant experience. I keep seeing more videos on it and honestly it feels like paid promotion.
