It shows a picture of a AI generated image of a king and queen referencing them as Omarchy users. Then it shows a floating icon of a jester representing Linux users that pops up some of the following quotes:
- The peasants whiper the whole distro castle vibe-coded
- It’s a bunch of dotfiles
- Ricing is not engineering, my liege
- Congratulations, you have discovered i3
- Two JPEG’s, a gradient, and delusions of monarchy
- Zero days since the last zero day, sire
- Coronation was on Tueday, the build was red
- Wait until they hear about NixOS
- It’s not a distro, . It’s a theme folder with a domain name
- It’s the worst distro in the market, they cry. Its not even a distro
I believe this whole thing was done in response of some “monarchy” and “oligarchy” comments on Omarchy around the fediverse. It is also sometimes weird to get the “joke” because the speaker changes.
This reads like a cry for attention, a lame slop nothingburger.
I don’t care who DHH is but if he wants to put his ego all over his projects that fine but I’ll pass. Yeah the Ruby on rails guy is gonna make a good distro everyone. Cause you know all your favorite projects use Ruby on rails.
Cringey as fuck.
This dude markets his distro the same way that Trump tweets: slopped out while sitting on the toilet.
The fact that the broader Linux community even acknowledges this, let alone pays attention or acts upon it, is really sad. You do you and move on. Literally nothing to see here.
I agree on focusing on what is important and moving on, however what Omarchy just did is equivalent of someone entering a restaurant and shouting “everyone who was inside before I entered is a clown”. Feels like this case requires attention.
Yea, but also reacting to that would just prove he was right. There is a saying, “a wolf is not bothered by what the sheep think”.
Um don’t they know that the jester is the one in the court who tells the truth?
That would require them to be educated and have self awareness. Don’t be ridiculous.
At least they got the incest amongst royalty right, that would explain some of the cognitive issues.
Lol this shits like what i found cool when i was 12. We roleplayed as monarchs on a minecraft factions server.
Edit: also whats with the nixos thing? What connection does nixos have to making fun of omarchy other than the fact that everyone should make fun of it?
Yeah, this is super bizarre.

I’m not sure, I suppose it is one of two things:
-
People make fun of Omarchy saying “Wait till they hear about NixOS” meaning that “How do these idiots have not yet realized that NixOS is perfect for what they are trying to do.”
-
In response to "It’s just a bunch of dotfiles" Omarchy claims that NixOS is a bunch of dotfiles too. (This one does not make too much sense)
-
This is sad and cringe.
Do we really need to share this garbage?
Okay, so marketing by slop narcissistic supply. Got it.
Simultaneously AI slop and riddled with basic grammatical errors. Impressive.
It seems to me they know what they’re doing: the controversial posts have been nothing but marketing to them.
Up until today I have never heard of it before. But now I’m seeing plenty of discussions around them, most regarding controversies.
That being said, regardless of their political instances (that does seem to be terrible, although I have no interest in diving deeper), there’s nothing there that smells good to me when it comes to what I would expect from a FOSS/Linux project.
That being said, that will possibly be the last time I interact with a post about this. Not interested in giving them any extra attention.
Bunch of chode losers in that camp.
This is cringe af.
I can’t believe this is coming from DHH, proof or this is a troll
Why would you don’t believe it?
I’m sorry, this is real
Fix our bash wrappers? Nah, lets vibe-code a shitty webpage attempting to make fun of critics. Also upload the source because … that matters.
Sloperators peddle more slop.
Grabs my popcorn waiting for the nonbinary folk to wake up.
