    Well, if you go deep down like that, indeed everything is political. Then let’s be more concrete. What political aspect of Omarchy itself do you find appaling. Let me hear of it. No not the guy developing it. You said, everything is political so tell me what is the political nature of Omarchy itself that is to be opposed.

      It literally advertises itself as “opinionated” and is being pushed as “non-woke” (whatever the fuck that means). It’s funded by Cloudfare, not simply because the distro needs money, but also because the developer is opposed to torrenting. It has closed-source chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok pre-installed into it. These are all political positions and choices.

      And it’s certainly a political choice to give your money to it and wear the merch (which are just advertisements you pay for the privilege to wear). Don’t be surprised if someone assumed you’re a Nick Fuentes fan if they recognize your swag.

        Opinionated in a Linux context means specific design choices, and a setup not for a wide audience but for a specific audience. In this case mostly programmers. That has nothing to do with “woke” or “non-woke”.

        I have not been aware of it being pushed as “non-woke”. Can you add a primary source for that claim? I could not find “non-woke” anywhere on the Omarchy site or its manual.

          Sorry, I mean it’s being pushed that way by its fans. There are people who like Omarchy specifically because of who its behind it.

          That’s why, if you wore their merch, you’d be making a political statement - similar to wearing Tesla merch.
