Discussion
Brodie on whether #Omarchy is a real distro or not.
He argues the 10 million dollars should go to all the underlying ecosystem projects. He goes too far for me in mentioning #NeoVIM in this list but that might simply be a knowledge gap about their fascist alignment.
„I don’t care if you hate #DHH, I don’t care if you hate Omarchy, this is 10 million dollars of funding and if you actually care about Linux, about OSS, you should be advocating for this money to go…
… to projects where it’s actually going to benefit people.“
Sure, if you ignore the consequences of making your project funding, maybe your salaries and financing of new professional project contributors directly dependent on the whims of the #Omacon Foundation and #DHH, that might sound like a splendid idea.
Their long-term strategy might actually be to align the liberal FLOSS ecosystem to their fascist motifs. To suffocate opposition.
Your Linux software project does have a #CoC? That’s too bad, the #Omacon Foundation has strict regularities against woke ideology. But you know, you can always choose to abandon it and get eligible for financial support! :)
You don’t have a CoC yet but are discussing it? Oh, you should consider carefully!
You are hosting a conference and are in search of a good sponsor? Hey, #DHH and his friends might want to hold a talk there! Cancelling is so over.
I also like this additional hypothesis:
»Everything about this distro revolves around one focus: AI. Perhaps that's why the funding involved is so impressive, with the goal of pushing the AI trend deeper through the Linux/open source ecosystem and its community.« (Comment on the Brodie video)
Both theories can go hand-in-hand: It’s about engrave fascist ideology alignment unavoidable in the broader ecosystem as much as reorienting the growing user base on desktop Linux to being AI-dependent.
