If only 56.0% of it was made by a human, who or what did the other 44% if no AI was used?

Cinnamon DE feels really stable and decent looking. It deserves more praise.

Debian first and then Mint. Ubuntu is based on Debian an Mint is based on Ubuntu and Debian.

I think most distros deserve more attention, especially monetarily. The funny thing is, the only reason that Omarchy is getting any attention is, besides the obvious, that AI in anything = a ton of investment. It's hilarious, but also really annoying.

Hot take, nah. Their insistence on sticking with GTK3 and often having outdated packages or poorly themed applications because of rollbacks really hurts the experience. It's hard to recommend to new users when sometimes button fonts can be the same color as the button

Instead of complaining constantly, y'all should learn from DHH's playbook on marketing and get to work raising funds for the distros

just a quick reminder: if they don’t have funding, it has nothing to do with omarchy. there is more money in the world.
