I didn't know Omarchy existed until, like, yesterday, so this is surprising. Do 1Password users just tend not to use Linux, so second place isn't many users?
I feel like this has to be made up, downstream repack distros almost never show up on the top 10 usage stats. You will always see Ubuntu way ahead of Kubuntu.
Not to mention 1Password is a pretty popular enterprise app and I have yet to see some insane sysadmin actually roll with arch as their distro of choice. Most are probably on RHEL or some other enterprise derivative.
It's probably not made up because 1Password is pre-installed and bound to a hotkey in Omarchy. Linux users making informed decisions about what to use for password management probably don't pick 1Password most of the time due to its terrible security record.
Terrible security record?
Of the items listed in your link, only the second one seems problematic, in that I wish they had discovered the (non-password but still privacy related) issues first. Even that section acknowledges all of the issues are fixed. The only section that makes it sound like there is still a problem is the last one, which states that version X still contains the vulnerabilities, but in reality that's just how versions work. Patching a vulnerability creates a new version.
Is there ANY record of passwords being leaked from 1password because of their own lack of security??
The pattern is this: First, they find out who to hate. Second, they find reasons to hate. Third, if they cannot find any reasons, they make them up.
