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.
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”.
