@tante Thank you for having written that article. As someone who is not a technical user, that was really enlightening.

@tante ich komm nicht darauf klar, dass der zweite buchstabe für HEINEMEIER steht :possum_rawr: :possum_rawr: :possum_rawr:

@tante ich komm nicht darauf klar, dass das zweite H für HEINEMEIER steht

@tante opinion makes a poor substitute for intention once again.

Thanks. All I need to know.

@tante
I saw an interview excerpt with the fella, which was enough to quell any curiosity in the OS!

Sounds legit

@tante @frameworkcomputer Blech. The content is fine; the JavaScript tag game is irritating.

Instead of disabling JavaScript, that kind of behavior puts the domain name in my plonk-box because the entire Internet is a social contract and even in jest, even in demonstration of capability ("oh, really, pulling someone's random bytes onto my computer can do unexpected things? What a revelation..."), if someone effs around with the privilege of having my client pull their data they've proven untrustworthy.

This kind of thing was stale when somethingawful folks did it and it's more stale now.

@tante @frameworkcomputer It's just basically a step beyond a normal Linux install by a software developer who thinks it's fun to write some janky scripts to customize stuff. Might be interesting to look at for inspiration if you have that inclination yourself, but like the article says people shouldn't confuse it for a distro.

@tante savage. Vanity boy has a vanity project @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org

@tante @frameworkcomputer The look & feel of the review page seems like it would fit in with the distro though :D

@tante @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org

I quickly checked the technical details the blog post links to: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/1e859d37cb7fef6ac687442dc1fe515d01d1302d/install/config/git.sh#L19

This script is a "shell script" (I only know that for sure from its extension because it has no shebang(!)), and it has bashisms, which clearly imply that they expect bash as a default shell.

I'm not surprised because archlinux has a history of silently destroying itself via package install scripts when you replace bash-as-sh by anything else, but this is really terrible...

@tante @frameworkcomputer
What a steaming turd of a "distro".. Hell it isn't a distro, its just a screwed up version of Arch...

I've been forming a theory lately as i realize that all right wingers i know, ever met, or see in the media seem to be deficient in cognitive reasoning skills. They just cant form coherent thoughts without ping-ponging around in an uncontrolled fashion... It's as though they are dumb and think that leaping from talking point to talking point might mask the fact.

@tante @frameworkcomputer I'm a bit out of the loop, what did framework do?

@tante @frameworkcomputer Bro need to chill 😂

@tante @frameworkcomputer its just a preconfigured hyprland, lmao. Ofc it would have been bad 🤣

@tante @frameworkcomputer "the Cybertruck of distros"

@tante @frameworkcomputer
If the name is "Omarchy", why is the title on the page "Omgarchy"?

@tante I love that he made some vague post later about ‘the haters’ and was too chickenshit to link to this

@tante @frameworkcomputer yea that thing pretty much singlehandedly fixed my imposter syndrome

@tante @frameworkcomputer
I watched the promo video once after i heard about omarchy and I was curious what makes that distro special. Pretty early into the video one of the major features they promoted where keyboard shortcuts to grok and twitter. At that point I had suspicions that this is some kind of "tech-bro-bullshit" arch linux distro and after checking out the people i kind of felt my suspiciouns confirmed

@tante @frameworkcomputer "Opinionated" is never a fun thing to hear in an opensource project.

@tante @frameworkcomputer oof. What a clusterfuck. The part that really baffles me the most by far isn't the absent technical quality but the fact companies put their money to such a project, leaving me to believe that they really simply support the creator, not the creation, which only increases the smell of the shitpile Framework has put at its own doorstep

@tante Sounds a bit like techbroism trying to take root in Linux world. Distrowatch has it at 100th place at the moment.

@tante @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org I didn't read the whole review on my phone, but the summary certainly is damning.

I could have built a custom Debian installer for Framework machines, but I guess that's not media sexy. And now it's too late.
