Lets see how it unfolds! If the trendy hipsters ended up fueling true adoption by true users regardless of their own actual choice, props to them!

Yea it's all well and good if it gets people to at least try Linux again, could be an interesting trend if more people start bundling their prefs and that results in a bunch of bespoke psuedo-distros that collectively discover new user patterns or increase visibility to lesser known software. 

My point is that this specifically isn't going to stick with casuals, its not some revolutionary UX, and the hype is typical hipster psychology, they'll be onto the next current-thing probably by the time I finish this sentence.

Omarchy - v3: Should I switch from Ubuntu?

Honestly I think that being able to get people excited on an oss OS is a good thing. Marketing is part of it. If this guy was able to market a simple config package so successfully that now everyone wants to try this flavored Arch distro, with many actually finding it useful, and even pretty, then it's a feat I bow to, for it will do nothing but nourish the ecosystem we love.
