      DHH has always had a cult of personality, since the very early days of Rails (I started hearing about his boring ass in 2005. Ugh!).

      He attracts people who are into hype. Around 2013 junior developers loved to say “did you hear what DHH said?” And I’d have to explain to them that I didn’t care because he seemed like a douche and rarely said anything someone smarter than him hadn’t already said many times.

      He is wealthy and has a soapbox, so he is a dumb person’s idea of a smart person.

      Since the start!

      Tested it yesterday. Don’t really like it. Don’t get me wrong it looks nice and seems to be kinda polished, but its way to much work to remove all the stupid shit I don’t need. DHH says its for professionals. Arch and Rolling release distro don’t fit with working professionally in my opinion.

      I’m happy if it gets more poeple to try linux but it’s not for me. Debian all the way and despite what DHH said, you can install hyprland on debian (and even ubuntu) no problem. He seems to be kinda a linux noob :)
