@catastrofer: I was curious of testing the Omarchy distribution this week just because I had some free time to work on it.

A developer testing the Omarchy Linux distribution reported a mixed experience, noting it wasn't terrible for their use case but expressing strong dislike for Microsoft. 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.

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. @nmm /u/nmm?from=%2Fpost%2F2431%23post-2434 Senior Software Engineer @ CodeScene. enter to follow /enter?next=%2Fpost%2F2431 replied to @catastrofer /u/catastrofer?from=%2Fpost%2F2431%23post-2434 Just another AI guy enter to follow /enter?next=%2Fpost%2F2431 : To 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.
