Bad advice considering the success Omarchy has had in marketing it. Whatever they're doing other distros should take note.

Is there any evidence of people actually using it?

    Yeah I switched to Linux full time at home last year and never even heard of this distro in doing any research about it.

      I heard about it but since I also heard it was built by a white supremacist, I'd rather use one that is made by decent people, especially when the added value is only a preconfigured hyprland desktop.

      So good marketing? Hell no.

I'm a Linux user and this is the very first time I hear this name. Data set of one, which says don't base your marketing on that.

I mean, I'm an everyday Linux user and half the content I consume daily is about the Linux/FOSS world and today is my first time hearing of it. And all the information I have about it is from replies to my comment, because its website doesn't actually offer any details. Genius marketing.

    It's by the same guy who started a Rails conference because he was kicked out of a different Rails conference, so that he wouldn't be kicked out of this one.
