5 - Thanks for your input casually puts paper in bin, it was great having you...

10% of stock Chrome users on Linux, basically, is what you are waiting for on the graphs.

Precisely because of what is described in the post.

Omarchy is an Arch-based Linux distribution created by a person with questionable political views. Many in the Linux community will go great lengths to ensure not a single penny of theirs gets into his hands.

Can confirm, switching ERP or billing systems is a risky multi-year nightmare with a price tag that makes even larger corps blush.

Did you not get the mail about them having built in grok?

Bye Felicia.

Shame. I liked digital ocean

I am not an Omarchy or DHH hater but....why? It's Arch with Hyperland, why are people fawning over it? Is it just because he keeps saying "agentic"?

I'm agentic too, how about throwing me a million bucks?

Not that I can tell.

Nobody on Linux uses Chrome, however, and many disable telemetry.
We need to normalize small amounts of statistics. Nobody will be able to trace you based on just uname -srpio.

It's a shame, I actually really liked their service when I used it. There documentation in particular was really excellent.

Good luck finding a non-evil (or at least less evil) service, sincerely.

I like the positivity!

How is hyprland better than Niri or Cosmic built on Smithay which are at least written in an over hyped safe modern language.

Or i3/sway for that matter.

"Nobody" That's the 4% market usage, clearly

It was a relative "nobody"

Okay I'm seeing further chicanery. Their GitHub repo gives the license as MIT but many of the components are not Omarchy originals but derivatives of other products under different licences. Quickshell is LGPL 3, for example, and of course the Linux kernel is GPL 2.

But then there's a guy working on the "Omarchy Kernel", which I guess is a derivative like Ubuntu does...

Personalities aside this is still weird, and I wish people would focus on that.

Well, they did have that datacenter burn down a few years ago, so.not entirely boring.

But they've been an otherwise solid provider for me. I've been using their services for years. Started with VPS and now on a bare metal server. Older hardware but great fornwhat i use it for. Been nothing but pleased with them.

People who have raised money before are better at raising money. Not that I fully understand why they throw so much at this project. But I don't also quite understand why some projects get billions just like that.

I don't think that matters here. NixOS is also MIT licensed.

Left-of-center people hate DHH and by extension everything he does and everyone he networks with because "he's a fascist".

"The genocide"? Is there just one?

Not exactly.

Do tell me why anyone should fund projects they don't like.

Seems like everything is being run over by fascists these days.

networking plays a big roll in such things. the more connections you have, the more possibilities. in my job that is normal as well ( not for donations, but it's important to get a job)

I am just trying to understand where the problem is. To me it looks like a way to lure Windows users to Linux. Yes, we all have different opinions but that is exactly what all Linux distros are for.
Since Omarchy is open source I don't see a big problem. It is not backed by Google or someone else so there is no monopol here that cant be won.

I just see it as a experiment, showcase, of what can be done and what people actually want. That other distributions can copy and take the good parts from.

"Fascism in your technology is inevitable"

Hmm.

Honestly that may be the entire point of this. The right wingers are trying to carve out their own corner in the world of FOSS. Understandable given the spirit of open source is literally the antithesis of what they believe in, however they also can't ignore it now cause it's vital infrastructure.

I'm out of the loop, what's going on? Why is everyone saying this is a bad thing?

perpetuating arch on society is the biggest crime

but also the racism and white supremacy

yes but investors and private equity are cancer

Definitely true. The Pi 5 is especially powerful compared to older versions, but it can get kinda expensive once you add things you'd want for a server, like a case, SSD hat, etc.

Ex-office mini and small form factor PCs (Lenovo Tiny/ThinkCentre, HP ProDesk/EliteDesk, Dell Optiplex, etc) can be a better deal than a Pi. In the US at least, you can often find 9th or 10th gen Core i5 systems for less than $150 on eBay. Works great as a server.

A lot of companies have a 3-4 year refresh cycle, after which the hardware is fully depreciated (essentially meaning its value to the company is $0) and they have e-waste companies collect them. The e-waste recyclers test them, refurbish the ones that still work, and list them on marketplaces like eBay.

Thank you.

He doesn't have "questionable" political views, unless you consider open xenophobia and fascism no more than questionable. He went beyond questionable a while ago and into being truly unpleasant and promoting harmful ideas.

Not that I want to disparage anything you're saying, but: I'm fairly sure the person you replied to was calling Omarchy users "gatekeepers". That's how I read it anyhow

Lemmy is gonna love that the whole thing is vibe coded

https://omarchy.org/news/2026/09/omacom-foundation-secures-tokens-from-leading-labs/

Welcome.

Common weirdo ml take

Thin clients

Besides DHH being problematic. It's really weird that a vibe-coded OS that is less than about a year old is getting millions of dollars of funding while other critical FLOSS software is constantly underfunded.

Thats fine. We just ignore Omarcy and hold our upstream projects to account if they start trying to implement omacy features.

I didn't known this project was this new, I saw some videos on YouTube about it but it didn't catch my attention so I didn't watch them.

Okay, I verified it, it's actually 14 months old, so I was wrong. But yeah, it's a relatively new project.

Take that survey, express yourself

How can an outsider support your business?

And then you have the updates! That's fun! They sell ERPs as SaaS, but it doesn't work like any other SaaS. The major updates break tons of shit because your own customizations will be based on upstream fields and methods that no longer exist. Not as bad as migrating to another ERP entirely, but not exactly cheap. At work, we keep support for our custom modules for longer than the ERP company itself supports those old versions so our customers get an extra year or 2 out of it. It's a pretty big deal for them and of course great for us, helps retention because they'd have to spend more for less if they go to the competitors (on even the same ERP that is - going to another ERP wouldn't just be a migration cost, the annual cost itself would go up too).

oh, i did
