Isn’t Omarchy a vibe coded Linux distro with Claude? Seems you can just vibe code anything and get funding for slop if you’re rich. If this is needed for the “year of Linux on the desktop” have at it I guess.

It's Linux for very young men who don't use Linux.

What don't you like about Omarchy? I'm not young and I used Fedora before Omarchy. I think it's excellent

For what its worth, I am part of the very young men you mention* (currently 18) and I have talked to people my age on discord who use Linux. My opinion is that I think that cachyos is a much more suitable option over omarchy. Personally out of so many of the distros that I have tried including Omarchy, I found Cachyos to be somewhat perfectly balanced (atleast for me). So I highly recommend Cachyos if you haven't alr…

You young people have it good. When I was 18 I started with Slackware.

So this is announcement. I was thinking if it is going to be Omarchy Server edition. But reading the names of all founding members I can see why it is worth the hype. I guess for now most people will be trying Omarchy on their old PC laptops. Especially when new one is expensive. It would be great if there are certain test case or certification to make sure given laptops works with Omarchy. I don't think there has be…

"what the malleable computer of the future looks like" ??? Excuse me? This is just a linux shell script repository. What is the point of having $8m to maintain a shell script?

Omarchy Quattro is pretty dang good. It's a lot more than any shell script I've written, certainly. If you've written a more complex one I'd love to see it. Having agents in the default environment, having everything configurable through text files, and having default agents automatically file bug reports on crashes - these are tangible quality of life improvements that you can't get on other systems. Maybe Windows a…

> default agents automatically file bug reports on crashes

Is this only sending bug reports to Omarchy or to the upstream developers? I'm not sure many of them would be fond of AI slop bug reports en masse.

Was about to sell the parts of my old Haswell Hackintosh which I did replace with a M1 Mac Mini a couple of years ago after 10 years in use, but now I might just dust off my old Lian Li case build it back together for Omarchy as my dev and tinker machine. Still has double the RAM of my Mini..

The last state of Omarchy to me was its arch but a script to install that one guys dot files.

Nobody has given me a reason to move of Fedora Atomics.
