DHH discusses his journey from 22 years on macOS to creating Omakub (later Omakase), a Linux distribution built on Arch and Hyperland. He explains how frustrations with Apple's policies and the discovery of tiling window managers led him to build a developer-focused desktop environment that prioritizes aesthetics, performance, and customization. The conversation covers the philosophy of balancing ease of onboarding with depth of learning, the importance of tooling that developers enjoy using, and how Linux desktop environments have evolved to compete with commercial alternatives through projects like Hyperland.

omarchy is great

Omarchy is a mess: <a href="https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/a-word-on-omarchy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy/</a>

I tried to move to Omarchy from ML4W to reduce maintenance burden (theoretically) but the wizard nukes the whole SSD (it wants it all!) so dual boot setup still not for the smooth brain users. So if I need to think I’ll keep on using ML4W (which is pretty grate) I just trying to stop fiddling with everything - getting old 👴

I think part of the success of Omarchy is due to Ubuntu’s dated UI which is a kickback to the early 2000s. Yeah I wouldn’t ship Omarchy on enterprise infra but for dev boxes, it is a slick targeted solution.
As for the criticisms on the fragility of the distro bash scripts, I agree but it is also a new distro which isn’t an easy product to ship. Those things will mature.
With so many people debating Omarchy in rage threads, it ends up compounding it’s popularity.
And who (besides gamers) even dual-boots anymore? Hardware and SSDs are so cheap these days. You can put 3 mini PCs on your desk for the price of what one PC used to cost.
Nothing is perfect - especially in the OSS world. But for now, Omarchy provides a nice targeted solution for developers.
