It's come a LONG way in user friendliness in 10 months. Combine Omarchy with a LLM and you can literally change any behavior you want in minutes. I have heavily customized mine, but have been able to remove some of those customizations

I am running it on the Framework 13 and 16. Both are awesome devices, but I'm partial to the 16. Beautiful screen, great keyboard, and I can easily swap in an NVIDIA card when I want. Battery life isn't the best in this beast. I&#

I've been daily driving it since July of 25. It's been an absolutely flawless experience. Never have I been more excited to be a long time Linux user.

As short-lived as I want them. Recreating them is one command and about 10 seconds (I have scripted apt/gem/etc installs as a part of the recreation). I tend to use them for a bit, and then destroy/rebuild. Think days, not we

Sad for the creators of the world. I enjoy the benefits of AI, but I hate if for creative individuals like @justalever. We (developers) were all sold a promise years ago of technology/software being our future. That's changing rap

Using incus heavily on Omarchy here and love it. I created a script to read yaml configs and create ephemeral incus containers with certain capabilities and certain directories mounted within. It's a wonderful experience for sandboxing

I have tried both Django and Rails for this, and honestly, very surprisingly, Rails did much better, at least with Claude Code. This is for a rewrite of an old .net application. Claude nailed it almost perfectly with Rails, but struggled wi

After reviewing the available options over a year ago, I decided to implement our own migration tool using https://dbup.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (we have a pre-existing, sizable .NET codebase). It's worked

And here I am looking at the Windows 11 machine I keep around to play a few games that has forced to me to do a complete reinstall four times because Windows updates broke it overnight, even though I had auto-update turned off...

As much as I despise the macOS experience, this small feature was a bright spot. So easy.

Omarchy uses limine plus snapper to give you (by default, but configurable) five system rollbacks. Each time an update happens, or a package is installed, a bootable btrfs snapshot is created. I've leveraged this myself to after an upd

The elapsed time from burning the ISO to productive development environment is impressive. Also, folks worry so much about customizing it, but you don't have to. And hyprland and Omarchy almost entire driven by text files, so Claude

For me, it's not about ricing. I find Omarchy to be an incredibly productive setup, from the launchers for webapps to the focus on TUIs. I'm conflicted about the drama and still learning more about it, so not ready to draw a concl

same experience here with Omarchy. it’s been (mostly) flawless. the only reason i keep windows around at this point is fortnite.

This is gold. Thanks so much for sharing. Being able to put claude in handcuffs and use --dangerously-skip-permissions without concern is a game changer!

So do you configure firejail to give each app their own separate, permanent home directories? Like "firejail --private=/home/user/firejails/discord discord", "firejail --private=/home/user/f

As a long-time Linux full time user, I begrudgingly switched to a mac for company reasons around a decade ago. I've lost a little bit of light in my life ever since, and was constantly fighting macOS to just let me work the way I want

Hello fellow lurker. I for one am glad you are here ;-) And I echo the thanks. HN has made me a better technical professional in so many ways.

I share your concerns about homebrew. It was one of the reasons I gave up on Silverblue/Bluefin.

Thanks! re: desktop environment, I am sooooo excited to get back to i3/sway. Peak desktop experience for me. :)

As someone who switched about a year ago from FreeNAS to Synology, this is extremely disappointing. Synology has been a great experience up to this point. I have pools, one on supported WD Reds, and the other on a hodge podge of drives I ha

Do you intend to put further information on running it into the README?
