Disclaimer: I only know bits of this story and an missing details. Creator vibe codes configs, makes a “distro” Creator says fairly fucked up things online, effectively a “dog whistle” gathering right aligned attention and money- and a quite a lot of it. Begins hiring similarly minded people, claiming “the money will be spent” on the distro All of it wreaks of BS.

Positive polarization: a lot of rich people are donating a lot of money to it, maybe (probably?) because the creator is well-connected and the OS makes lots of references to AI. Negative polarization: The creator has bad opinions, and the OS is very AI-forward.

They bought coverage. There is 0 reasons to use Omarchy over well… about anything. It’s like using Ubuntu despite Mint existing, but they also lack reputation, are evil, has had relatively many vulnerabilities in a short time frame, and have shady backing. I refuse to believe that anyone who promotes Omarchy daily runs it nor does not receive monetary compensation.

Because every linux youtuber and their mom is making a video about it. And when you add buzzwords like “Agentic” and tell everyone that Omarchy is the future and will bring about the YOTLD, normies start flocking to it.
