a lot of people do not understand what omarchy actually is and why it is making progress where traditional distributions have failed.

they focus on the fact that omarchy
is a vanity distro, that it is basically a collection of configuration files and some shell scripts gluing them together.

and omarchy is that.

but omarchy is also marketing and devrel, and a consolidation of the linux experience into a product format.

in fact, that is most of what omarchy actually
is.

building a technical community that understands & executes on these things would be the goal of what i propose building

in essence omarchy is a mechanism to take linux and turn it into a product, in the same way that macOS takes darwin and turns it into a product.

traditional linux distributions, by comparison, aren't defined products, they are work output from technical communities, and the design of them is approached from that philosophy.

@ariadne Omarchy is a product aimed at people who at least know what Arch Linux and hyprland is. It doesn't tell us anything about turning linux into a product
