Props to Lemmy for doing... something... with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.
Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don't see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don't know any better. After reading this, I can only imagine that Omarchy is most frequently distributed out of a shoddy panel van parked at a judicially-mandated distance outside of school zones. "Hey kid, want to try some Linux?"
That's because you're thinking of Omarchy as a Linux distro, not as an open endorsement of fascism. Its goal isn't to make a usable Linux distro, its to entrench fascists into Linux and the wider FOSS ecosystem.
Like a restaurant that is a money laundering front for the mafia. You're not supposed to actually eat there, ya know?
I don't actually believe DHH uses Omarchy as his daily driver and not his Mac.
The failure to include Ruby/Rails would seem to indicate that. Or maybe the guy's given up on framework development and he's just a culture-war grievance blogger these days
