My frustration is omarchy getting more than $18 million in funding for some dotfiles... (i know it's an exaggeration, because omarchy foundation itself seems to be funding projects like Hyprland/Quickshell/mise)

but archlinux project probably deserved it instead of omarchy

(linux kernel already has enough funding i guess, so they don't need this)

---

Can someone explain me, how are they going to profit off this? they can't expect to show ads to linux users right?

Omarchy is funding mise. Make of that what you will.

> Nazi Adjacent

Oh gosh, me wanting my culture to not be overrun by third world migrants is just oh so evil, what will I do with the name calling?

I'm not a therapist, but I think one way you could deal with how upset you are about supposed name calling that nobody directed at you would be to post a comment on HN pretending that you're not upset about it. See if that helps.

The comment isn't for you, it's for all the people out there are are getting tired of being labeled as Nazis for wanting to keep their culture and heritage alive.

Apologies, didn't realise you'd accidentally replied to my comment.

My frustration (on top of what you said) is that DHH is already a multimillionaire. Of all the distros, I feel like his is the one that needs donations the least.

No it doesn't. They vomit their politics every chance they get and ban individuals/projects that disagree with them politically. (Go and try to find XLibre on the Arch Linux wiki as one small example.)

I hope Omarchy gets another 18 million and everyone that currently donates to Arch switches to supporting Omarchy, just like previous GNOME donators are doing so we can have a new Arch base that judges individuals based on their merits and not their politics.

Arch Linux is just a packaging format and a package manager. All you need to do is stand up your own servers and run your own builds, and point the user pacman configs at your own server and you have your own Arch Linux distribution. Omarchy is already doing this, just like Manjaro has been doing for years.
