Omarchy – Linux that is capitalizing on AI momentum

7•orsenthil•48m ago
A month ago I asked, which Linux distribution is best capitalizing on AI momentum. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49129429 The answer seems to be Omarchy right now.

I really like Omarchy. I don't agree with all of DHH's (apparent) opinions, but I don't agree with all of TIm Cook's opinions, Steve Jobs' opinions, Linus Torvalds' opinions, or Bill Gates' opinions either.

It's a real pleasure to use.

Omarchy is not a distro, but that's not worth nitpicking about.

I have no problem with Omarchy, save one: it seems to (ironically) create a walled-in Linux environment that requires giving up a fair amount of control for a (lengthy) bespoke list of stuff.

This is mainly apparent with updates; if you install Omarchy, you have to update via Omarchy or risk some mayhem, you use DHH's separate package repo, etc. I'm simplifying, but that's the gist.

This seems to go against most of the reasons I like Linux.

I think you are right, and maybe it just appeals to a different kind of user. I appreciate the way it's set up out of the box, and make pretty minimal changes that chezmoi and the /omarchy skill help me maintain easily across updates. I like that it's well-configured without me having to configure it, but I know that's not what a lot of linux users are looking for.
