This may be the single biggest Linux ecosystem announcement I’ve seen in several years. The @OmarchyLinux Foundation (Omacom) has just launched with $8 Million in funding. “This nonprofit foundation will hold the trademarks, fund the infrastructure, promote the work, and support the open-source projects and developers Omarchy depends on.” $8 Million. That’s a good amount of cash. But that’s not what makes this announcement so utterly wild. The really crazy part is this: The funding comes from 8 people, each chipping in $1 Million bucks. And they are some seriously big names in the world of computing. - @tobi, CEO of @Shopify - @patrickc, CEO of @Stripe - @MichaelDell, CEO of @DELL - @jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter - Matthew Prince, CEO of @Cloudflare - Brendan Irvine, Cofounder of @Oculus - @jasonfried, CEO of @37signals - @DHH, creator of Ruby on Rails Dell, Shopify, Stripe, Cloudflare, 36 Signals… and, heck, the founder of Twitter. All on the same page. All investing in Omarchy Linux. This new “Omacom” foundation has also announced that they are now the “exclusive sponsor” for the Hyprland window manager, directly investing in the projects they build upon.
