ok so what is a distro then? distrowatch seems happy to consider omarchy a 'distribution' and how about catchyos, it's just a kde installer with 2 setup screens slapped in front bundled with a custom kernel and an install script for post install kernel configuration.
what is arch anyway? just a kernel repository and a package manager?
I didn't know anything about DHH before omarchy I just saw a youtube video about some guy trying it out and had a go on my laptop that I never used before and I like it, it fits the way I want to interact with my laptop as a baseline one of the first things I did is remove all the frills (screenlocker being the first ones to go) and I found it really easy in general to de-dhh whatever I didn't like about the distro/installscript/flavor/whateveryouwanttocallit and remove pulling updates from the omarchy repository and use my own gitea fork instead to possibly use on future installations or reformats.
On the servers I am running a debootstrap installed ubuntu (better hw support) that come in at less than 1gb size, but for a desktop that has 1.7tb of project files I could care less about a bloated desktop image.
distrowatch? lmao. no wonder you took the pill and i am not surprised with the omarchy's userbase, it's full of normies anyway and couldn't care less
