From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Omarchy is just a bunch of dotfiles in a Hugo Boss trenchcoat pretending to be a linux distribution.
I don't get how this project just received 8 million dollars. It really is just a preconfigured arch linux.
It was all just a bunch of rich tech bros that made that $8M investment, with $1M from DHH himself.
Its not the standard investment from another company where they do some due diligence. This was just a "we think this is the future of Linux" vibe investment.
That makes me think there's something shady about it, like spyware or something.
