Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!

I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

    I’m of mixed views about this. Omarchy is popular purely because of DHH. I don’t see anything of benefit beyond the notoriety of a famous dev.

    There’s also some dissenting opinion about DHH in general that taints the project: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html

    Being based on hyprland also has some potential social issues.

    I don’t get why cloudflare didn’t donate to arch instead.

      I agree. This whole project deserves a good bit of skepticism, on political, social, and technical grounds.

      at least it wasn’t “omakase”, though i suspect omarchy is a derivative of that word. dhh was insufferable during the rails peak and he seems to still be today.
