Install it with: wget -qO- https://omakub.org/install | bash No, won't execute scripts from people which know basically nothing about security...

have you seen the script? It's super intrusive and reconfigures your entire system, including personal config files. The usual argument against curl|bash scripts is that they don't respect program boundaries, may do unknown system configuration that would affect other programs, and could be impossible to remove. And "initial system setup" scripts like this one do all those things _on purpose_.

Well, you run it on a fresh install, so it's not like you'll have any data worth keeping.

Nice. Link to the video on YouTube for those interested: https://youtu.be/aXLra-31Jh0?si=WQ0X1pCVLezQh4PF I'm curious about the choices of Alacritty over Wezterm and Zellij over tmux though. Especially if going with zellij then why not use wezterm as well? Anyone know?

I think he honestly just found Alacritty first.

So DHH converted to Linux very recently and has already documented, scripted and advocated his personal config to a level where it almost feels like a new Ubuntu-based distro. :) Very cool, I'm both impressed and inspired!

idk what drives him to do all of these, what a beast

The "kub" very much implied that this installs/includes/is based around k8s. It isn't, and that's a poor choice in name due to needless friction. This is similar to an Ubuntu "spin" so I'm ot sure why someone would go through all the effort but of customization with out releasing a proper remix that just gives you the out of box XP with lower friction. This clearly isn't meant for containers, maybe folks who dev on w…

The name is from Omakase (a term DHH likes) & Ubuntu.

For disambiguation, this project is also not implying the following:

Om - this is not a flavour of Linux oriented to Meditation.

Maku - this project is not associated with the city in Iran.

Oma - this project was not created by a German grandmother. DHH is a man from Denmark.

This setup mangles the standard Win+Space binding (keyboard layout switch) with Ulauncher, which doesn't give you that much over Gnome's native features.

Standard Gnome shortcuts for workspace switching (Win+F1) and dash application activation (Win+1) are replaced for no particular reason, and the new Alt+number mappings likely conflict with mappings in several applications. At least Emacs.

I feel personally attacked. I have a memory of a fish and would hope if I really could remember the thousand shortcut I need to move to rely solely on keyboard.

I don't see why anyone would want to use someone else's personal setup, but cool. Also not a fan of introducing new Linux users to wget | bash ...

Newbies need to be exposed to other people's opinions in order to develop their own.

This solves the discovery problem of knowing what's out there and what's possible. Personally the discovery problem is why I like full featured IDEs: GUIs do a better job of presenting possibilities and they push features to you by default needing to manage them.
