It is so sad to see so many people -- including the article, to an extent -- and also people in the comments cast shade on this distro and the people who may try Linux either for the first time, or perhaps one more time, because they tried and failed to switch before.

Calling it flashy is an especially amusing critique. You couldn't kick your way through the 90s and 2000s without the endless parade of semi-transparent terminal windows running on various shades of windowmaker, enlightenment, kde, etc. all to show off how much more advanced the graphics pipeline and customisation was compared to Windows or Mac at the time. So this is hardly a new thing.

Let's hope this distro picks up steam; that it helps convert people who are fed up with Apple and Microsoft to another way of doing things. Arch + hyprland is a fine place to start.



I think many people have problem with the project because it is from alt-right environment.


>I think many people have problem

"There are dozens of us! Dozens!"

>because it is from alt-right environment.

No it's not.


If you seriously think DHH and collaborators are "alt-right", you haven't met many alt-right people.


Sure there is spectrum. I witnessed more extreme stuff during early 90s in Eastern Europe but still...


You have no clue what you're talking about.

The guy who glazes JD Vance, the 1000000% alt-right Vice President who doesn't care about literal Nazis infiltrating his party is probably part of the alt-right.

lol go back to 4chan

What does this even mean with respect to the article?
