I think it’s just horrible news that the far right is able to concentrate a lot of capital into building their own orgs so that they can bypass and effectively do a coup on institutions they dislike, not for technical reasons but because those institutions are too trans, woke, and brown.

I'd never use Omarchy (much prefer Nix/NixOS) and I *heavily* disagree with DHH's politics—but!—8 millies to a Linux "distro" is excellent news for Linux as an ecosystem over all. This is probably as good as it'll get.

Also, where is the money going to go? I have a feeling that not much is going to be given to upstream projects anyways so it won't affect the ecosystem positively at all. Like will they just give Asahi Linux, freedesktop.org, the Linux kernel, quickshell, archlinux, etc, big chunks of the money?

first thing announced is 3 years of full time funding for the hyprland guy, who was banned from freedesktop lol

And... are they gonna fund any other projects outside their right-wing circle? Also so what if hyprland is banned from freedesktop they could still donate as last I checked hyprland hasn't replaced mesa or wayland yet.

Yeah sorry I wasn't clear that I agree with you and don't support DHH or omarchy at all. I was just posting that about the funding as it seemed to be the #1 reason why some people are giving him the "pass" as they think he will fund free software.
