I think anyone that doesn’t realise there is not “best” in distros is either stuck in the consumer mindset or is so narcissistic they think everything they do is the best without ever considering that perhaps few people are actually like them.
Truth is, there’s a distro for everyone. It’s super easy to test drive and hop. We’re spoiled for choice. If someone wants to contest someone else’s choice, they’re an idiot and can go back to closed source where over-researching and min-maxing is a requirement to get what you want, not a choice.
I’m confused on why you think ubuntu and omarchy can’t also be part of that “culture” you describe. It’s also a bit different for omarchy. Part of it is that it’s just another arch flavor that isn’t all that special, but everyone started talking about it all of a sudden, which made people grow tired of hearing about it pretty quickly (kinda reminds me of what happened to ghostty tbh). The other part of it is its creator being a conspiracy weirdo, which puts people off.
Linux users hating on systemd, wayland, emacs, bash, etc. is part of the culture.
The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous. These are some of the best user experience focused distros out there.
Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.
Also you should use OpenSuse, it’s the best distro out there.
I mean from what I know about it Omarchy and its creator is pretty shit

I agree though that openSUSE is great. I haven’t used Fedora yet, but I also haven’t heard people complain about it either
OpenSuse Slowroll is really one of the most interesting choices imo. Rolling release with Yast to configure everything via GUI really hits the spot.
Imagine defending fashtech
I’m against it lol.
