This makes users try Omarchy. Users learn about the author and move to a different Linux distribution. All good?

I like the positivity!

I am just trying to understand where the problem is. To me it looks like a way to lure Windows users to Linux. Yes, we all have different opinions but that is exactly what all Linux distros are for. Since Omarchy is open source I don't see a big problem. It is not backed by Google or someone else so there is no monopol here that cant be won.

I just see it as a experiment, showcase, of what can be done and what people actually want. That other distributions can copy and take the good parts from.

I mean, something is fishy when Michael Dell et al dump millions into a particular distro. Could be the AI-forward identity, could be the development of tools with permissive licenses, could be DHH is just rich and good at schmoozing. Hard to say.
