I'm sorry to say, but I think Omarchy is going to fail. I got really excited by it. The version I tried was an absolutely dogshit UX at every level. It doesn't "fix everything". It's so bad it feels like a scam. I don't think it can ever become good due to the way it was conceived. They have a team of like 100 people. Me and Chad built a higher functioning OS in a few days by taking a completely different approach. I don't think we can win either because we have no hype. Why does this always happen?

People that have a nice marketing budget/clout, don't really need to focus on the dev.

nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 you told me Omarchy was the way 🤔

What's your fav?

It's a love it or hate it distro https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=ratings&distro=omarchy Considering I follow you and have no idea what your distro is called, yeah, I think you may need better marketing

Hi Alex 😊 . Sorry to hear that . Because no hyped ? I think you are right . No hyped no win. Just like me , do you think I need to take different approach with my KIZUMI project ? Is this marketing people expensive ?

What is the definition of failing here? Where can I download and install the OS made by you and Chad?

dogshit ux at every level? any examples? i enjoy the ux but i also have a history with linux and tiling window managers - maybe it’s not for everyone.

I’m not entirely sure what Omarchy aims to be, perhaps an out-of-the-box Linux desktop environment packed with flashy UI elements? It might represent the vision Ubuntu once aspired to; however, a group of people felt Canonical was doing a poor job, leading to the creation of this alternative distr...

A tiling windows manager is not my thing, I prefer a scrolling windows manager like Niri. I got nothing against AI, I don't want agentic AI on my OS. It's more fun to use Arch Linux from scratch.

Financed by big corp and not test of time, no 100% foss philosophy. It was everything to be a complete failure. Hard to call it Linux, not even a thanks to its base layer, arch Linux. Even then Debian and fedora are much more secure than arch. Omarchy is a very fiat thing, built in a hurry.

You say "the version I tried". How long ago was this? The Quattro release did some major overhauls and that was before the Omacom Foundation was a thing.

That’s a shame. And I was considering giving it a try.

with how ''cheap'' software is these days, can't we just get a bilionaire to fund a bunch of nutjob Nostriches to build everything from kernel on up with Nostr, blossom, FIPS, ngit etc in mind? I mean, fuck this shit, lets just embrace our brake away civilization status, burn all legacy crap and le...

It is the personal os of someone else and when I tried it (last version before all the hype) it was the first Linux that came with commercial bloatware (completely new experience for me)

What is a Linux distro but the personal config of some guy foisted upon others? Sometimes it works out but many times it does not.

Are you calling OS to an electron based env? Well...

Where can I learn more about your project? I tried desktop FreeBSD for 2 weeks I'm up for anything man

everything you hate about diy linux with everything you hate about agentic ai bullshit AND everything you hate about laptops and PCs. What is it a free zkproof CPU encrypted cloud OS? Fucking what the fuck do we need AI linux OS?

perhaps a narcissistic statement

The whole Omarchy is SUS AS FUCK.

What’s the approach?
