TIL a really good r/unixporn post is worth $8M
DHH has the gift that he's both a good technologist, but also a good marketer.
"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?
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 would be the point of Omarchy Server? I thought the desktop experience was the main selling point...
I have a really hard time getting excited by this. I'm a Hey customer, and it's one of my biggest regrets. DHH promises a lot, then gets sidetracked with killing DEI or spending years migrating off AWS (for all the supposed savings, I certainly haven't seen any) or bending over backwards to have a framework to avoid front end frameworks or whatever the hot new flavor of the month is. Meanwhile, my Android app email c…

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…
> 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. I've been maintaining https://github.com/nickjj/dotfriedrice for around 8 years, it's my dotfiles that have an installer, theming and other things. I'd still absolutely classify this is a shell script / dotfiles project. I've added just enough customization to make it easy to modify most things wi…
I guess I think there's a lot more in Omarchy than a dotfiles repo, I was very impressed with the demo video. Even just creating the menu and updating system is non-trivial. Mirroring the entire distro through Cloudflare seems significant also. I've not seen those in another dotfiles project.

I imagine things like central Auth directory (eg. LDAP), central service for installer / image syncing, device managements, and other enterprise features.
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.
However, if it helps to move Linux into the mainstream desktop choice. I'm all for it. Obviously I won't be using it any time soon - but if some rich dudes want to throw millions into marketing and getting Linux mainstream, seems like a net positive to me.
