Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don't use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

Hey, if gets more people using Linux it's a positive in my books 🤷

sure but it's like saying to someone "here's the Linux Pool! dive in!" and then you show them a kiddie pool that has Arch Logos on it that have been scratched out and it's full of piss. Not a great introduction to Linux imho.
