It's just Arch Linux with hyprland pre-configured and bunch of pre-installed software.

People have been flocking to it for reasons like

1. They don't want to configure hyprland themselves.

2. They want to say they are running an "elite" distro like Arch.

3. They're part of DHH's weird following that is a mix of insufferable smugness and right-wing politics.
