Can anyone explain to me what Omarchy claims to do (as in marketing only - not what it actually does) that would possibly justify all this money being flung at it? I have a hard time believing that all these companies are throwing this kind of money at something just because it's fascist (at least adjacent). Is it just a bandwagon effect at this point? Like, "oh, company X gave 3 million, so we need to give 3 million because it must be something special!" Is it claiming to do something revolutionary that is causing the stir in these companies' pants?
Its big selling point is being "AI first" - they preinstall a bunch of AI apps and have some system tray integrations for them. The rest of the distro seems to be typical theming stuff that a lot of Linux users do and post about on places like r/unixporn.
Thanks! I went looking and noticed that "agentic OS" was right on their website title. I imagine that that may be the primary public justification for these companies' investments, but the fascism may be the real unstated reason, or at least the icing on the cake for some of them.
