- Seems wrong that this post is flagged.
- DHH had been anti AI first. Then he got a board seat at Shopify. Shopify needs to maintain the AI narrative to maintain the illusion of easy shop creation.
Now DHH pushes AI in a simple Linux distribution, one of millions of others. And the money flows in.
Why would DHH want to keep foreigners out if he wants to make everyone unemployed? The same applies to Musk. It is interesting that these two figures support DEI when it comes to unemployment: Everyone but snowboarders (Lütke) and "race car drivers" (DHH) should be unemployed regardless of skin color! True equality!
by 34ksh16 - I just installed Omarchy yesterday wanting to try it out. Mainly dealing with not having a mouse for my second computer but maybe you gotta give it a few days as your main machine.
But I prefer the sub pixel font rendering in macOS to the one in Linux. I always have. And that hasn’t changed with Omarchy.
The theo video about the file systems being way faster is what got me to consider it. Working with node modules folders a lot, and occasionally working with docker (orbstack is great) I’m curious about considering this as my dev machine.
We’ll see how it goes but I wasn’t blown away the way the videos say. At least not yet.
by atonse - I'm a fan of omakase computing but in an "install stock fedora or debian" sense. I find the maintainers have great taste. I'm not sure any more ink needs to be spilt than that.by Retr0id
- I’m very impressed with how easy Omarchy is to get going for someone who knows enough about Linux and computers to take over the rudder and steer the ship to wherever they are going. Proprietary tools like 1Password and Spotify are in place. It works wonderful in a Mac centric SaaS organisation. Actively developed and refined. It would be great to have a traditional taskbar oriented distro like this. But in the meantime I can run this and forget about my OS for a while.by bestham
- This is not a distro. It's a masterpiece in trolling.by crocowhile
- I do this with Claude. I don't add skills files, since I figure if they worked that well then Anthropic would just put it in Claude code.
I just open Claude in a new directory (no agents.md file or claude.md file), tell it what I'd like it to build, and figure that Anthropic would give it any tooling it needs. If some skill etc worked so great, it would just be part of Claude Code.
(However, I do think it writes some memories based on things that worked well or poorly before - it does really well at projects now, I think it does much better than a stock installation, so I think it does make use of memory files. I see its notes when it writes certain lessons to memory.)
by logicallee - Stock Fedora or nearly all the other Linux distributions are a thousand times more stable and secure than Omarachy is.by deepllm
