I cannot understand why Nirav, the head of the company, would weigh in here instead of having the PR/Marketing team of or someone come up with an answer for this. Made it so much worse and I have such a bad feeling about them now.
Maybe some Ben Franklin will help them “It takes many good deeds to build a reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” “Never ruin an apology with an excuse.”
This is a great write up and analysis. It does make me wonder why there are big names associating themselves with this when it seems to really be a big mess under all the cool colors not to say anything of the garbage that comes out of the developer himself.
But maybe it all speaks to a way to improve upon and move past Omarchy. There is clearly a group of people that want to use or at least try Arch and Linux in general, but don’t really know how. Providing a highly configured Arch setup, that looks cool, actually delivers on security, that is created by people that understand systems, that still allows for the freedom of choice that Linux provides, and that aren’t developed by a scumbag could be a big hit.
