Valid point, I did exactly that before getting on to omarchy on the laptop and cachyos on the pc. Ran my own arch config for about 2 years but got tired of maintaining. Plus wanted a bit more developer centric ready dotfiles and omarchy is doing that really well.

I understand what you mean and I've tried a few but haven't found something that's out of the box geared to dev the way Omarchy is, hence kept at it. Will keep an eye out in general for alternatives as much as I love Omarchy.

but isn't this open source? where is the capitalist marketing angle coming in with the distro? minus the automatic basecamp setup which is one command uninstall away, no?

you can take the distro and leave the person's views out.
