Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse... in the end, it doesn't matter. If you (you as in "newbie Linux user") find a distro that captures your attention that is all that matters. For me - personally - it was some Slackware based distribution that hooked me back in the 90s....

Yes, Omarchy is in some ways quiet... hacky and has a bit of a "style over substance" approach, but i think that is not THAT important for the role it fills. It remembers me of the various riced up setups from the early 00s (and perhaps late 90s, but my memory is hazy in that regard) that simply looked cool (i just say "compiz") and had this WOW effect on regular Windows users.

Omarchy has this and also benefits from an idiot proof setup routine. If it drags in people from Windows its good, some will start tinkering with it, some will dig deeper into the Linux / Unix world... its an entry level drug in a way.

Naja, das ist ja auch so gesehen deren Job...

I, personally, think Omarchy is the best "easier to install Arch" out there - you can hand out a flashdrive to anyone with at least the most basic IT-knowledge and they would get a working, useable and upgradeable system within ~20 minutes.

You spelled Forth wrong.

Didn't you get the message? The rules based world order is out of the window, now we are back to might makes right.

I don't give a shit about the political views of the creator of the software i use. I use Omarchy, i use Brave... it works great.

Das witzige ist, dass das eine Einschätzung ist die sich weit links und rechts teilen. Während hier die "Volksverhetzung" durch die Tagesschau angeprangert wird arbeiten sich die Rechten daran ab, dass die Tagesschau (und der ÖRR allgemein) hart gegen die AfD "hetzen" und eine "woke Agenda" verbreiten würde.

Es heißt ja immer, wenn sich beide beschweren macht man wohl was richtig...

This is the point. About twenty years ago when I first met this guy I thought I HAD to convince him to upgrade to something more modern because, well, "new is better" I guess. Luckily he declined my offers and stayed with this system.

Now, this man is for me what would call a living legend. He bought this system when the PET was brand new, state of the art tech and was perhaps the first veterinarian in a radius of 100 km with a computer. From this point on he wrote himself tons of software for his personal use, modified this software for changing circumstances (and still does so!) and kept this system running.

THAT is permacomputing!

Honestly, the very best i got from a client of mine, a veterinarian who is about 80, he runs his whole Praxis on a Commodore PET (i mean, its a natural choice for a veterinarian), which he bought somewhere around the time i was born. His reason: "I don't need no Windows, i need no Linux or anything other than the computer i am accustomed to. It does what i need and it will do so till the day i die".

Jup, stimmt... aber nur innerhalb kleiner Gruppen, Familien oder Clans, sobald es um größere Organisationen geht die sich Regionen mit begrenzten Ressourcen teilen wird es immer auf Konflikt hinaus laufen.

Im Endeffekt ist das doch eine Rückkehr zu einem natürlichen Zustand in dem sich das Zusammenleben der Nationen / Völker seit dem Beginn der organisierten Zivilisation befunden hat.
