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.

That confirms it, Omarchy is the official operating system of bigots.
Always has been
I thought Omarchy is an OS for Ai agents, not for humans. Why would any human use Omarchy then?
*fascists
fucking called it when the first batch of millions started rolling in. not that it was too difficult to see. disappointing to see many open source folks being like "who cares?", which is just the head-in-sand reaction i'm used to encountering when talking about fascist politics with locals. it seems to me that the users who are ready to welcome large amounts of institutional capital into open source projects don't understand that it comes with strings attached. maybe they think more money = more eye candy = growing userbase = better video game support on linux? idk, hate to see fascism creep into every aspect of my personal interests
Let's check the Venn diagram...
