> either have a discoverable GUI for noobs, or a configurable, keyboard driven system Absolutely wrong. Windows is both and it can be 100% keyboard driven.

Try editing key-values in Regedit using only the keyboard.

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\MyNewKey" -Name "Example" -Value "Blah" :)

Not an Omarchy user and use podman rather then docker. But is this not a docker issue rather then a Omarchy issue, docker should verify user permissions through the socket, it's quite bad that it does not no?

Sorta, but there is a reason that no other distro does this by default and that docker itself warns that doing this is effectively giving the user password-less sudo.

So this is a problem in Omarchy specifically since it does the dangerous thing silently and by default while everyone else tries to inform the user of the consequences.

why would anyone use this distro when there are so many options? genuine question.

DHH is an influencer and people like to follow them. I know I did 20 years ago when his videos influenced me into saving for a MacBook. He basically meme'd web dev with rails on TextMate.

I think people shouldn't just jump to distros which are getting heavily hyped in media/Youtube, cachyOS had similar wave, and now Omarchy does. (example: NetworkChuck, Primeagen? and a few others) also, archlinux is much easier to install nowadays with archinstall [1], so i'm not sure you really need another opinionated layer on top of it [1] - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall

Everything hyped is usually a counter quality signal

He's a person, just like you are. Let him know then, he has an email and you can message him publicly on X.

He clearly "suffers" from narcissistic personality disorder, trying to change him is a waste of time. Even if he was a normal person, I see no rational reason for him to change his behavior given how successful he is.

So he’s a lost cause to you? You decided already? So much doom and gloom in your response.

> people who want to use Arch Linux but have it configured the way DHH does Then they don't actually want to use Arch Linux. The Arch Linux way is to read the excellent wiki documentation, learn about all the choices available, and then make all of those choices so the system is configured the user's way instead of some celebrity's way.

installing arch is enough of a pain that I've been putting off installing it on my desktop for months.

It's something you do literally once.
