Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

    It doesn’t really matter what they call it, does it? Just like changing the name to “main” didn’t achieve anything.

    Words have multiple definitions. The definition that git’s usage is based on is:

    an original movie, recording, or document from which copies can be made. “the master tape” synonyms: original, archetype, prototype

    This shouldn’t have been “problematic” either way. It’s just all virtue signals. We aren’t rushing to rename Master Degrees are we?

      I think main actually makes more sense. Talking about archetype, prototypes, “original”… Makes no sense in branch development.

      Just call it main. This will make sense for any kind of development.

        The switch was pointless and broke a lot of scripts. It was just dumb, through and through.
