It’s not you (an informed user) that they’re after, it’s about public perception of Linux. I would go as far as to say Omarchy is an attack on all Linux distros. It’s the notion that you can just “dial up some tech” that has been doing widespread harm to all branches of IT, shaking up the public trust in technology and confusing what “reliable” means for IT. If Omarchy succeeds in having AI create a usable Linux distro it would fundamentally alter the optics of “manually” created distros and the public’s trust in them. And it probably can, given massive amounts of money and resources. Hence all the millions being poured into it. It’s the old “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy in a new form.
