They just founded the Foundation, and the money has not been allocated yet. But Hyperland, Quickshell, and some others already got 3 year sponsorship deals.
The AUR maintainers refused the cooperation and the money. So they will start working on new package management for Omarchy.
My guess, though, is that most of the money will go to DHH's obsession with Macs and anti-Apple stance (porting Linux to work on M architecture), either by directly funding Asahi Linux or by forking it to speed up development.
- sho_hn 1mo agoI highly doubt the current crop of Asahi people would take money from DHH.
- mirzap 1mo agoYup, that's why I think they will fork it.
- mcv 1mo agoSo much money to spend and no one will take it...
- mirzap 1mo agoOmarchy ISO is downloaded 20000 times A DAY. It's in the top 3 distros now. Only very sad and delusional people hate its success. I pity them, but I don’t want them anywhere near me.
- dkuntz2 1mo agoit also seems highly unlikely that dhh would even reach out to asahi to ask
- KetoManx64 1mo agoThey've already said that they refuse to work with DHH, which is fine, but the Asahi Devs and Arch Linux Devs have let politics overtake their entire existance and I'm happy someone is finally changing the status quo and shaking things up. Let money actually go to competant people and not leftists that will ban you from their entire ecosystem if you even slightly disagree with their politics.
- mxve 1mo agoDHH is bringing more politics, and mostly hate at that, into this space than any other person.
- KetoManx64 1mo agoWhat politics is he bringing?

- copperx 1mo agoOmarchy means Hitler in Danish.
- gcr 1mo agoCould you explain where this comes from? I dislike DHH as much as the rest, but I thought Hitler was just referred to as Hitler in danish?
- machomaster 1mo agoThat was a joke. Kinda like saying that in modern feminese, "man" means "rapist".
