> If Omarchy is upsetting the Linux establishment as much as this article implies
It’s not upsetting anyone other than people who like to argue about inconsequential things on social media.
I actually don’t think it would be as popular without all of the manufactured drama and controversy around. Some people (like the parent comment) are drawn to the controversy and feeling of rebellion.
I bet 99% of people do not care if you use it or not. The other 1% just like arguing about other people’s personal preferences for some reason.
It's also upsetting people who judge work mainly by the political stances of its authors, not by the merrits of the work itself.
We've seen the same thing play out with Harry Potter for example.
I don’t even think Omarchy is particularly popular. I see a lot of activity and user preferences around Linux Mint, Bazzite, and CachyOS, in addition to the traditionally popular choices like Ubuntu and Fedora.
I’d be more inclined to ignore it entirely if I was a blog author.
