This is basically just shilling. Average Canadians cannot point to many things that have improved or gotten cheaper in how many years? You are acting like we are a day away from being a debt free hyper economy that everyone is knocking on the door to get involved with.
'I'm saying that their reputation should be reviewed negatively if they "create a distribution to solve a problem that has no reason to be solve by creating a distribution".'

"It is understandable to be frustrated at a project without technical merit gaining so much traction"
Not really, seems kinda weird to be frustrated by an opensource project that people have decided to build a community around.
When POPos was just an Ubuntu fork with a few gnome extensions and a better nvidia installer, I guess you were upset it got traction also? Or is their enhanced nvidia bash script enough of technical merit to appease your righteous stance.
I wonder how you feel about a sponsored Kubuntu conference, you must look at the idea with disgust.
This is a little cringe, it's fine you don't like it, dont use it. There have been other distros based on arch which are also mostly just rices. I've never seen people complain about them, but Omarchy is different, probably because DHH is involved.
I tried Omarchy and thought it was decent, I liked a lot of the settings and visuals.
