I’m confused on why you think ubuntu and omarchy can’t also be part of that “culture” you describe. It’s also a bit different for omarchy. Part of it is that it’s just another arch flavor that isn’t all that special, but everyone started talking about it all of a sudden, which made people grow tired of hearing about it pretty quickly (kinda reminds me of what happened to ghostty tbh). The other part of it is its creator being a conspiracy weirdo, which puts people off.
