The developer, @catastrofer, acknowledged the criticism surrounding Omarchy but did not recommend it, while another user compared Omarchy to Windows, criticizing both for vibecoding their operating systems and preferring more reliable software.", "body_md": "I was curious of testing the Omarchy distribution this week just because I had some free time to work on it. I saw a lot of hate around it and kind of get the point but so far at least for what I have been doing it wasn't terrible (at least at the point of writing this) although I am not trying to convince anybody to use it. But it just remember me how much do I hate MS.\n\n[@nmm](/u/nmm?from=%2Fpost%2F2431%23post-2434)Senior Software Engineer @ CodeScene.\n\n[enter to follow](/enter?next=%2Fpost%2F2431)replied to\n\n[@catastrofer](/u/catastrofer?from=%2Fpost%2F2431%23post-2434)Just another AI guy\n\n[enter to follow](/enter?next=%2Fpost%2F2431):\n\nTo me Windows and Omarchy are similar in that they both seem to vibe code their operating systems. Whatever the motivations are don't really matter if the end-user experience is garbage as a result anyway. It's great if you end up in the happy path and all is well, but I personally prefer more reliable software. So while I decide to not partake in taking an opinion on DHH, hype-driven development rarely leads to positive outcomes, I've found.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/catastrofer-i-was-curious-of-testing-the-omarchy-distribution-this-week-just-i-i", "canonical_source": "https://textlog.cc/post/2431", "published_at": "2026-08-25 13:18:11+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-25 14:18:10.694874+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools"], "entities": ["Omarchy", "Microsoft", "@catastrofer", "@nmm", "CodeScene"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/catastrofer-i-was-curious-of-testing-the-omarchy-distribution-this-week-just-i-i", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/catastrofer-i-was-curious-of-testing-the-omarchy-distribution-this-week-just-i-i.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/catastrofer-i-was-curious-of-testing-the-omarchy-distribution-this-week-just-i-i.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/catastrofer-i-was-curious-of-testing-the-omarchy-distribution-this-week-just-i-i.jsonld"}}
