    Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.

    Huh? Pretty sure it’s constantly questioned, especially by those who reject systemd. Sometimes that isn’t hate, but well-reasoned (but occasionally badly worded) rejection.

    The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous.

    Wasn’t Omarchy made by a fash, TERF or some other kind of extremist? Harmony is great and all, but like with tolerance it can’t be absolute.

    Ubuntu gets their well-deserved amount of criticism in my eyes since they still haven’t published the damn Snap server source code (afaik). A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

    I like harmony too, but please don’t attempt to deligitimise well-reasoned criticism.

      Don’t forget outright selling user data to amazon, the fact that each snap slows down boot times, or the various claims that they’re illegally harvesting user data through Azure Ubuntu images to send promotional material.

      The only community they care about are the micro soft execs…

        Despite being a pretty ardent Linux user for a lot of years, I’ve never heard of “Omarchy.” I just looked it up; without clicking the resultant link, I already saw it describe itself as “beautiful, modern & opinionated.”

        I don’t think I’ll be using it. Or clicking the link.
