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.

Yes, but the issue with opinionated setups is that you don't get a "why". That's all in someone's brain, but if you don't know what you're looking at, you have no idea whether this is a good feature

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!

I'm very impressed at his productivity. Really one of software influencers worth following

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The creator is the creator of Ruby on Rails so I doubt he is very concerned with nodejs

that person sounds like his fan and maybe they thought this is a good place to rant about JS, with which DHH would agree. Even though the opinion is completely irrelevant to the thread.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

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.

Loved how you went above and beyond in your reply.. I know it's not 100% on-form for HN but it was a great rebuttal to what I also felt was an uncalled-for criticism of the name.

how is this a place to rant about nodejs? Is this not a thread about ricing Linux?
