“popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.” I’ve literally never heard of it.

Nonetheless, it seems the company has sacrificed a moral position for a “mission-driven” position. In the same message to staff, Faugno says “the scale and growth of [Omarchy’s] use among our customers is significant - Omarchy has grown to be the second most used Linux distribution among 1Password users." I didn’t know Omarchy existed until, like, yesterday, so this is surprising. Do 1Password users just tend not to use Linux, so second place isn’t many users?

I already wasn’t gonna use either, but now I’m not gonna use either even harder.

Why I use KeyPass – which is FOSS – instead of entrusting everything to a privately-run paid website which can turn against everyone at anytime. edit: to that wiseacre below, do you think it’s better to go back to passwords in a notepad? 🤣

morals should stay out of software,the ability to use the software to do anything is one of the benefits of open source licenses even if the creator doesn’t approve of using it to bombpesky former land occupiers.

How the fuck is Omarchy “popular”? I’ve been on Linux going on a decade, give or take, and I first knew about it when someone here in Lemmy mentioned that Dell and some other shit companies were proton a few millions on it.

Wasn’t Omarchy literally just a couple of dotfiles for Arch and a easy Installer?

I’m so glad I switched to Bitwarden. Even without the whole extreme-right angle, the distro, that I’ve never heard of before today, seems like total slop.

The backlash to 1Password’s funding should have been predictable Managers don’t know shit

@panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2026-09-02 19:51
Why does Omarchy even need this money when it’s run by a billionaire? This song have just been sent to Arch or some Linux foundations.

I don’t use password managers and I’ve never been exposed. If your password is 16 characters with a letter, number, symbol, and is more than 1 word it will take millions of years to brute force. Just use multiple passwords and change the important ones every few months in case of data breach and you’re golden. Forgot your password? If you have access to an email with multiple 2-factor you can recover any account in about a minute.

Aw man, I use them because they’re Canadian but fuck them, I guess. I wonder how hard it is to switch to another password manager. I’m especially concerned with how passkeys work.

I don’t understand all the hype for Omarchy. It’s not really that groundbreaking or awesome.
-
@Jiral@lemmy.world 2026-09-03 07:29
“popular distribution”? Omarchy is neither of those two words, is it?

So YT’s algorithm is pushing right wing racist distros? Huh. Wonder who is paying to make that algorithm work that way.

@acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2026-09-04 03:21
of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy. popular?! According to whom?

@BrickEater@lemmy.world 2026-09-04 03:45
… Can we not just write shit down? I don’t understand the need for this password keeper shit outside of a work/corporate environment.

When/how/why did DHH fall off so bad? There was a time when he was (at least vocally) shitting on Jeff Bezos, Chamath, and a few other “friends”

Interesting case of how funding decisions can quickly become part of a much bigger conversation around tech, politics, and community trust. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

@Smoogs@lemmy.world 2026-09-03 12:32
popular? among who? never heard of it.
-
@CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 2026-09-02 20:05
Why does this shit distro deserve all this funding and support? There’s many better options doing a lot more for the ecosystem yet this gets the attention. It’s don’t understand.

I’ve emailed their customer service explaining why I’ll be dropping them as soon as my subscription renews.

Damnit. I just found out about Omarchy and was thinking about trying it out. Not anymore.

As bad as the “Nazi bar” problem seems to be in FOSS at the moment, it is definitely heartening to consistently see how immediate and overwhelming the pushback has been. I think it says a lot about the community, and it’s a good thing.
