So preface, I am extremely OOTL with the distros. I have my Fedora box for work and its been running just fine for 5 years now. Before that i am an Arch btw user with i3 config riced to the max. I wanted to get actual work done so i stuck with Fedora and have not attempted any other distros.

Anyway, this Omarchy seems like a big deal? Idk everywhere i search, people are saying stuff like it is the best thing for Linux. Recently, there was news that Omarchy actually got funded for like $8 million?? The money comes from some big names too: Dell, DHH, Stripe, Jack Dorsey...etc. The dev who is working on Hyprland also indirectly benefits from this funding.

Is this going to become a serious corporate backed distro? We have Redhat for that right? Or is this just hype

One shouldn't talk about Omarchy and/or DHH and not bring up fascism (among other issues, but let's stay focused), self-professed: https://world.hey.com/dhh/three-sacred-cows-that-must-die-so-europe-can-live-1afb203d

At least one Arch maintainer says Arch won't be associated with them and calls Omarchy "just vibe-coded dotfiles and bash scripts": https://floss.social/@serebit/117162401397324439
