Fuck Omarchy and DHH. Want opinionated Linux? Go Slackware. Patrick Volkerding has built Slackware since 1993, largely alone, without a foundation behind him and without billionaire patrons and without the fucking drama. When someone made a pride logo for Slackware (which looks great by the way!), Pat's response was a friendly "Nice work!". Compare that to Omarchy: dot files for Arch, backed by billionaire patrons and marketed as the future of Linux, with a founder who's spent years publicly campaigning against DEI, disbanded his own company's diversity committee, cheered the end of race-conscious college admissions, and recently wrote a blog post comparing Romani people to wolves that need culling and ending with "when gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." If you want to put money or attention behind open source projects, consider those who are actually improving the space and not the guy with the biggest megaphone... Here's Patrick's patreon if you feel like giving him some love: https://www.patreon.com/c/slackwarelinux/ #Slackware #Linux #FOSS
