Alright this is getting out of hand.

Indeed, thank you!

Well, as we saw with OpenClaw, 95% of users won’t set up containers and scopes if it isn’t a preconfigured default.

So yeah, Arch can do containers just fine. But if this is an “agenic” OS preconfigured to use agents, it better do that by default, out of the box, and MAKE the user scope its access.

Likewise.

Yeah, it is sad. That is precisely my sentiment, though I’d add the distinction that those “ghouls” wrapped it in corrosive marketing, and launched chat-tuned text models as a product that really shouldn’t have been presented to the public. At least not in that way.

There are people here on Lemmy who were into machine learning before ChatGPT launched. But it’s just not a lot of positive engagement for that kind of talk I suppose, especially when communities like localllama are rather quiet.

It pains me, when I was entering my teenage years, I had two paths, physics or computer science, for a while I focused on both and in the end, economic pressure along with AI research pushed me into CS.

Now I get to watch decades of research, millions of man hours get trashed on the internet because a few rich ghouls from silicone valley gave it the last push and claimed it as their own.

The Swiss have relentlessly been working on ethically trained models with data willfully contributed and borrowed from the public donain, but we never get to talk about it, or the fact that China's frontier level models are democratizing what the Americans stole, they didn't do it out of kindness, but it regardless, gave us back part of what was stolen.

I appreciate you chiming in, it's nice to see level headed folk.

You mean the malware store.

yeah the script thing is just hilarious to me. it shows that no one actually touched any code building this thing because LLMs are NOTORIOUS for insisting on using scripts.

So many open exploits with this "distro" and don't get me started on the "plugin store".

Aw man i didnt know that

[…] It uses neovim as it’s default editor. note the VIM part. so logically to navigate a TILING WINDOW MANAGER whose default editor is neoVIM you’d use VIM style navigation right? nope not on omarchy. […]

This is one of the things - like setting super + F11 for fullscreen - that I thought was such poor design that let me immediately know that everything else was going to be shit. The navigations and tiling are the core of functionality, so if the core is bad then the shell must be bad as well. Not to mention that instead of using Hyprland's Lua configuration to extend actions like closing all windows in the current workspace they use bash scripts calling hyprctl and jq.

Also, marketing it like a beginner friendly distro while shipping Hyprland with Neovim is just imbecile behaviour. Finally what really pissed me off is how little to no acknowledgement they give to the tools they are using and pretending they did all the hard work.

Real piece of shit "distribution".

Thanks for mentioning this, I let my guard down on this one.

I just found it in an article an decided to share it. I have no plans on even testing it because I've tested scrolling window managers like Niri for about two months and did not like the scrolling. But I understand people may like it over other tiling layouts.

I just thought it would be nice to share an alternative to karousel

I don’t have proof but also I don’t have doubt.

Given the latest news re: KDE gargling on AI, it's pretty much a given that this is going to be vibecoded.

That's it. The installer grabs what it needs, builds Konveyor for your exact KWin and switches it on

Don't know how to argue this but all of this "run this bloated non-posix non-standard installer script" projects that are coming out this days smell like ai slop to me. Ask them why they don't provide a standard ./configure script (or a CMake script like in this case) like any decent human being will do and you'll get some bs answers.

I don't have proof but also I don't have doubt.

Holy Torvalds, this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Have you tried it out? How does it perform?

It’s literally impossible to become a billionaire if you have morals and empathy.

Like anything involving fascists, it’s a corrupt grift for self-enrichment.

It can't not have containers, right? Or an I missing something?

Honestly I've not delved much into this distro, I only hear bad things about the author and a lot of companies throw money at it

This looks... Interesting? Seems like a lot of complication for a desktop...

Wow, this looks far better than karousel, wouldlove to try it some day.

They've got to pay their leadership a "fair" salary

Omarchy probably will be abandoned and forgotten in 5 years

Ironically enough Mozilla has funding they just burn it on useless things

Arch is already pretty well funded

He uses the word Agentic

This was not on my bingo card
