I have tried it and I don't like it. I run Endeavor for Arch. It comes pre-installed with a bunch of Google and other bullshit that I just don't use or need.
I've also learned after playing around with a bunch of keyboard first navigation things like hyperland and whatnot that I am just not a keyboard first kind of navigation person I need a mouse.
I'm also the kind of Linux dork who doesn't like having a bunch of pre-installed software on my distro. Usually I'll pick a kernel and then install a minimal version of the desktop environment and go from there, installing only what I actually need, not what somebody thinks I need.
2 days ago I heard this name for the first time and was wondering WTF is this. Now I'm wondering why they got so much support, they don't provide anything special compare to other distro.
That's me with Bazzite. I use it purely for gaming. I haven't customized it. I just click the Steam button. Debian is my daily driver and I know everything installed on that machine. My box that has arch on it I'm definitely less familiar with
WTF? Funnily enough, I'm actually migrating to omarchy now. Finally, an operating system with a tiling desktop manager that seems to just work and has a cheat sheet built in so I can actually learn.
It's an opinionated operating system and it's not Ubuntu. I think that's worth a look. Plus a tiling desktop manager built-in, plus an interactive searchable cheat sheet. Perfect for beginners and people who don't want to spend a whole week learning new hotkeys and trying to build it into their muscle memories.
im using it now. and im too lazy to wipe it and just put straight arch + niriwm + danklinux but honestly? I would rather keep omarchy installed so i can take it to geek events and find my clan of outcasts
Okay, I’ll bite. They don’t like the founder? It doesn’t have enough DEI in the codebase? Please enlighten me, I don’t live in a world where everyone is permanently triggered and irate at the most minute details of everything imaginable.
I just knew at least one person would drop the word Nazi. I almost wish you could send those people back in time to actually meet real Nazis.

any *nix can be a powerful footgun, making a computer predict what you want without the bandwidth to understand the implications of the changes made (a problem before LLM coding) makes for a really big foot! Maybe it's time to switch to OpenBSD or Alpine linux for desktop 🦢

Lmao your ableist mindset is not welcome here. Please disable yourself in at least one way and choose the appropriate accessibility feature before proceeding. Next page, please provide proof of vaccination before proceeding, next screen please provide your computer license, responsible internet access license, and referrals from at least three already registered users before proceeding.
I don't need a more highly valued recommendation than that. I'll have to try it out.
Probably got something to do with Hyprland by default. Those types hate anyone that doesnt go along with their play pretend bullshit, ask me how I know.
Ive been using arch +swaywm for years, might just have to make the switch and try it out.
Those pre installed shits are the reason I haven't tried it out. That and I have swaywm keys embedded into my prefrontal cortex at this point, changing to hyprland would mean learning something.

Tbf Omarchy does seem pretty cringe for somerhing that was funded 8 million dollars. But i guess a broken clock is right sometimes...

And on Mastodon it’s the same thing. People are so sensitive these days. It’s only an OS, relax people.

Man, I keep an eye on Bluesky for the cringe. It's such a pathetic userbase.
I've been working with Claude to find all the cruft and replace it to make it mine. I do appreciate some of the stuff, but some of it I don't. Like web app shortcuts (which prompted me to build it out for my own apps like proton mail but via Firefox) and they have a few "productivity" apps pre-installed which they made but I don't care to learn. So I'm de-themming it, and then I'll try to package that somehow for us nostr users. I like that it comes with mise preinstalled though.
