    The only issue anyone seems to be taking with the main line project is the dev. Half of his design choices are completely uncontroversial on the other half would never generate this much fucking heat.

      Eh no, there are two big issues with Omarchy: a) political issues with the dev, b) many big, dumb and very dangerous security issues.

        It is really funny that I have no idea what security issues there are with the software, because everybody seems to be concerned with anything but.

          That’s unfortunate that you are not informed. The best part is, that even DHH himself agrees that Omarchy has lot of bad security issues. His argument is that these get reported and fixed, so it will be secure someday (so his argument, but ignoring that vibe coding is never secure). Here is a part of the interview with Brodie in YouTube (about 10 minutes): https://youtu.be/M8gVXNlZFFg

          And the list goes on and on. These are not just security issues… these are dumb issues that should not have been there. Its incompetence and negligence. Every software has issues and bugs and security issues. But why don’t the other distributions have this many dumb issues like these? And it won’t get better, because its heavily vibe coded.

          So I hope you are informed now.

            Actual useful info, very cool. How interesting it might have been if this were the subject of the post, but sadly it seems like this is secondary to arguments about personality.

              I agree with you. But its important that there are two different of topics of issues, one of them is focused in this article. And I don’t think it is unreasonable, because it is focusing on a topic with many information. Although I’m not a fan of some parts of it and the overall presentation and tone.

                My complaint is that the argument from OP is bad.

                The argument, without ambiguity, is essentially that because the developer is morally tainted you should not use the software. That just doesn’t follow, and the argument itself distracts from taints any real concerns about the product itself.

                  Agreed a bit, not fully, but if someone is against it, then there is already a bias. For someone who is not involved and not against it, just want to compare them, I argue that person might not know and understand it completely. So a bias is natural. So taking that as an argument to discount the credibility, I am not entirely on board. However if someone is so much biased, that it looses all judgement of positive and negatives, and only provides one side of the story, then I am 100% on your side of opinion.
