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.

Shhh, never tell the nazis their weaknesses, just grab some popcorn and arm yourself with patience.
If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: ~~update to 4.0.1~~ STOP.
Man I love this thread, I was starting to think I was the unreasonable one for thinking Omarchy is a hyped PoS dotfile skin. To learn it goes deeper into a fascists plaything is wild to me, I got some good intuition I guess.
lol
lmao, even
Oligarchy Linux likely has so many government-backed backdoors that this one was perhaps a consequence of them.
DHH was too distracted by all the scary people of color in London to worry about security.
CW on that link for bigotry, false statistics, and thinly veiled fascist screeds.
Lol lmfao even

stop using a system made by fascist?
I wasn't sure what to make of claims that this random techbro is a fascist, so I decided to look for clues. I found this article from last month in minutes, and after reading it, I require no further convincing. Guy's a Nazi whether he knows it or not.
as a fellow dane, david is the corniest type of danish guy.. a dork turned fascist because of built up resentment.
He has 100% been a Assmongold viewer if he isnt still, and probably knows wayy too much about trans people in womens sports despite not knowing a single shit about medically transitioning
ive had my share of encounters with his type.
They don’t actually understand what Nazis or fascism even are. They treat it all like a weird sports team thing where everything is just a derogatory word for things you don’t like. They’ll never see they are the bad guys. Not capable of it or they wouldn’t be this way to begin with.
If anyone is interested in a more thorough and recent write-up of why many of us call DHH fash, this gnome blog post is pretty good: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/
You either log off a hero, or you see yourself create another linux distribution, and having failed the first part, DHH has been pouring his energy into creating a new project.
That line sent me.
also if you listen to 10 seconds of any podcast with him you'll hear him say the r slur like 20 times. when I first heard about him two or so years ago, this was my first red flag. I immediately paused and checked his blog... yep fucking nazi piece of shit
Not sure I want to ask this - What's the "r" slur?
To use WSB slang - Regard I assume.
World Superbikes slang? I'm even more confused now.
lmao here
One thing I find interesting is under "Modern Use" on wikipedia it says:
On January 6 2025, Elon Musk sent a post on X (formerly Twitter) containing the slur. The Montclair State University published a study pointing to a 207.5% increase in posts on the site containing the word r***rd following Musk's post.[12]
In May 2025, CNN noted that the word was "surging in popularity online among some celebrities and their fans," and quoted Joe Rogan as saying, "The word ‘r****ded’ is back, and it's one of the great culture victories."[13]
As if I didn't already think that this was a fascist dog whistle... seems like there is actual evidence to back up that while fascism is on the rise, the use of that word is also on the rise. I've probably watched / read some shit on this already, and just forgot lol
Quote from end of your linked article. Note he talks about humans:
When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

Omarchy is just a bunch of dotfiles in a Hugo Boss trenchcoat pretending to be a linux distribution.
Omarchy is just a bunch of dotfiles in a Hugo Boss trenchcoat pretending to be a linux distribution.
Utterly untrue, it's also an AI slop website with a dumb little icon bouncing around listing his insecurities.
I don't get how this project just received 8 million dollars. It really is just a preconfigured arch linux.
$8 mil is pocket change for the investors. It's like eight dudes all giving their bro $100 for his art project.
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.

When I explained X11 on FreeBSD to Windows users 25 years ago, I said, "you start from the pretty side and work towards the ugly. I start on the ugly side and make it pretty."
Omarchy is turning a perfectly decent OS and putting a pig outfit on it and giving it lipstick, then calling it pretty.
hows BSD for everyday use compare to linux?
Relatively the same.
