Other omfreebdy - omarchy like on FreeBSD

This is very interesting and polished project:
https://omfreebdy.dba.wtf/

Somebody, i.e. not me, is creating omarchy experience on FreeBSD.
I am not much for ricing, Wayland or hyprland but it has a lot of useful utilities and ideas/scripts/solutions:

sandbox - runs any application in a disposable FreeBSD jail backed by a ZFS clone.
cliamp - is a retro terminal music player inspired by Winamp.
Voxtype - is a push-to-talk voice dictation tool.
webapp-install - turns any URL into a desktop app.
llama.cpp + [jailed] claude code + opencode + pi + hermes
and much more.

I haven't tested it but just the utils above get me excited.

since when was "some gobshite's dotfiles" on the same level as a distribution? the dude's neovim config loads all of one plugin and sets dark mode, that's not even an opinion, that's a favorite color. and who cares about what DHH thinks anyway? toilet flushing noises

Its the worst thing that happend to arch linux bar none. Not even recent AUR shenanigans come close to it. They call this "opinionated distro". Whatever the hell that means. Bunch of proprietary and ai garbage bundled in one single arch iso. Its so bad, its brilliant.

What is "ricing"? And honestly the next list really does not impress me at all.

A bunch of kids tuning hyprland and niri configs to their, so called, taste. Bloating the distro with shit ton of icons, dependencies, custom fonts, and addons just so their wm/desktop can look fancy.

Im an old bitter fart. I know.

Thanks but as another old fart, I still don't "get it" :)
WMs, DEs, sure make them "your own". But "omarchy experience" I come back to "please define omarchy so I know what I'm experiencing"

Worst of all, crap like this has a huge user base and following. So huge that it makes me question my own sanity. Are we just too old and stubborn and we dont get it? Are we living in denial because we consider 80s and 90s as a golden age of computing. Are we yelling at clouds ? Are we the problem ?

Thanks.

"Because all the people like the crap means the crap is less crappy and we should all embrace it"

No thanks, I'll take a CLI over graphical crap every time.
