Whats the deal with Omarchy linux? Hype or it is actually that good?
So preface, I am extremely OOTL with the distros. I have my Fedora box for work and its been running just fine for 5 years now. Before that i am an Arch btw user with i3 config riced to the max. I wanted to get actual work done so i stuck with Fedora and have not attempted any other distros.
Anyway, this Omarchy seems like a big deal? Idk everywhere i search, people are saying stuff like it is the best thing for Linux. Recently, there was news that Omarchy actually got funded for like $8 million?? The money comes from some big names too: Dell, DHH, Stripe, Jack Dorsey…etc. The dev who is working on Hyprland also indirectly benefits from this funding.
Is this going to become a serious corporate backed distro? We have Redhat for that right? Or is this just hype

Omarchy is too close to oligarchy. Pass.

I don’t think it’s a big deal. DHH is the creator. He has deep pockets. It’s mostly just Arch with a fork of Hyprland, I believe. Largely keyboard-navigable interface, if you’re into that. The money will likely benefit Linux as a whole but that remains to be seen.

Where is this “hype” that you speak of?
