What's backing this claim?
- aeon_ai 1y agoAnecdata - But I feel confident in it. If you join the Omarchy discord, people regularly cite buying either a Framework or a Beelink, with a lean towards the former, to put Omarchy on. I tend to presume that the creator/consumer rule applies, and that for every one person that says it out loud, there are 9 others who are doing the same thing silently.

- aeon_ai 1y agoI'm not making stuff up? I'm making a claim that's only supported by my personal experience, the evidence I've seen (of people buying it), and the observation that Framework is pushing it for the very same reason. I'm also being transparent about that.
- BoredPositron 1y agoCome on dude. In your initial comment you provided it as literal fact. Only after your unsupported claim got called out you admitted to making it up and branded it as anecdotal.
- aeon_ai 1y agoI'll report back once the peer reviewed study is released.
- BoredPositron 1y agoYou could just stop shoehorning exaggerated statements into your writing.
- aeon_ai 1y agoI didn't (and don't) believe that to be an exaggeration -- My confidence in that number may not be released sales reports, but I see a very clear pattern of people reporting buying Frameworks for the move to Omarchy (the server has also grown 5-10x in the last two months), and have seen the Framework team's reciprocal enthusiasm. What's your estimate, if you think mine is exaggerated? 10? A material difference?
- BoredPositron 1y agoI don't need to estimate anything it's yours to provide the numbers because you made the statement. The growth numbers for their discord are true but mostly because the official release was made in the timeframe you provided. Ofc framework will use it in some tweets for marketing because it's trending that doesn't mean that sales are driven by it. They made tweets about other distros as well and nobody would use it to make a statement about Linux adoption or driving sales like you did. You did it because you liked the idea of it even without having any hard datapoints. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

- aeon_ai 1y agoIf you’re simply trying to say “don’t make claims you don’t have hard data on”, say that - but you’re not making any better of an effective argument against the belief itself. I’m not trying to sling wild hyperbole out there, in fact I thought it was relatively self-evident from pure observation which is why I made it so casually. In fact, I’d contend you are arguing the counterpoint because you don’t like what it would imply, and have some resentment towards Omarchy or something else about what I’ve said. I’m not going to insult your intelligence by linking basic psych to support why that’s likely.
