Stock Fedora or nearly all the other Linux distributions are a thousand times more stable and secure than Omarachy is. https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/a-word-on-omarchy/
Article is very outdated.

Other than being a proprietary OS that's getting more locked down every year, its disk performance is trash. https://x.com/theo/status/2090528543746965991
Do you have a non-video, non-X summary of what he’s talking about? I’m not watching a 31 minute video on X to figure out what this is about. Theo is another influencer who thrives on being contrarian, embellishing negative claims about things he’s not pumping right now, and trying to get everyone to ignore negative things about what he is pumping. I would not trust his judgment on topics like this without some third…
I use nix on macOS and any time it's making changes to /nix/store, the Finder and fsevents processes peg cpu.
IIRC his video shows fs-heavy ops like file deltions and pnpm install taking much longer on a macbook despite better specs.
Frankly, things like the lack of a universal cmd-c/v clipboard on linux has been 1000x worse for usability than slower bulk fs.

In that podcast DHH was talking about how in Omarchy you can change the system settings, monitor setup, themes, window chrome, installed programs, window manager config, keyboard shortcuts, etc. using agents. This is facilitated by Omarchy because all that stuff is dictated by text files that agents can directly interface with. Whatever the merits of MacOS, and there are many, it is not the paradigm there that all yo…
"it is not the paradigm there that all your system settings and config are stored in text files." This is inherently untrue. A .plist in XML is nothing but text. It might be formatted text, but it is still text nonetheless, like almost every other configuration file in existence.

What even is this comment?
I think it might just be DHH creating a new account (49 minutes old) to glaze Omarchy.
Such weird mob antics.

None of them, at least the one's I've encountered in my 20 something years, have had the idea of "everyone has to know everything about all tools", although they've certainly been annoying in other ways.
There's some hyperbole but his point is obvious to me from hanging out in forums and IRC channels over the years, or reading snarky "umm, I'm confused...?" quote-tweets for certain Omarchy posts about how Omarchy is just quickshell hyprland rice. I used to use an old omakase version of Debian called Crunchbang in uni ( https://crunchbang.org/ ) and there was always someone around to make the remark that you'd only us…
There's a clear market for "good enough" Linux boxes for coders and casual Chromebook-style usage (Steam Machine style) that's constantly bullied by the "you should read the manpage before posting" crowd.

It's fascinating to me how discussions related even slightly to DHH always devolve into personal attacks for no apparent reason. Such weird mob antics.
> classic Linux culture. Where there's been a strong belief that everyone should know everything about all of their tools, and that they should preferably configure every last one from them from scratch. Huh, what Linux culture is this Ruby-on-Rails fanboi talking about? Arch Linux I guess comes closest to it, but still isn't "everyone has to know everything about all tools", but I guess if you're launching some clos…
>> classic Linux culture. Where there's been a strong belief that everyone should know everything about all of their tools, That’s weird, imagine saying to mechanics, artists,… to not learn all about their tools.
Omarchy is AI slop from an outspoken racist. Use a real distro.

racist? how?
