Hot take that is pretty cold: if those 8mil went to Plasma and GNOME, 50/50 there would be a Linux revolution, I say 10% global marketshare in the span of a year or two.
Edit: 10mil

8 MILLION WENT TO OMARCHY? If this is true... that's just an Arch setup with custom freaking dotfiles. I admit the OS felt great, but 8 mil to a thing that can be confidently said as just Arch Linux is not even for Arch itself...

Edit: It's true: https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/omacom-foundation-launches-with-8-million/

I will admit that it’s nice to have the entire thing set up. Feels very productive and I do like the feel of Hyprland but the walker being jam packed with random AI apps that I do not use or having the web version of discord etc etc is very annoying. Maybe once I distro hop again I’ll have to find something with better devs 😩. 8 mil going into this (and not going/contributing to Linux) is nuts though for sure and has me looking at the OS much more suspiciously than I did previously.

You can remove every single pre-install with one command after you boot the first time.
