If you use omarchy, you have bad taste.
Why is this thing so popular? Do people just love faschtech?
Good marketing or influencers perhaps? I'm not sure but I've been wondering myself.
Plus it comes with software with steep learning curve (Neovim, Hyprland, etc.), that is also popular among the "gatekeeper" types.
What does 'arch-based' mean? Isn't it just arch with some scripts with aliases and some tools preinstalled?
