This is what diagnosis culture gets us: Pathologizing all the hyper activity and racing thoughts in the world means smothering this kind of unbridled, entrepreneurial energy. Not every fidgety kid is going to become a Karp, but we desperately need a solid pipeline of potentials.

I've seen a million "Omarchy brought my vintage Mac back to life post", which all perfectly illustrate that making it EASY to get going with such a project was the pivotal point. This has been possible for years, but required a lot of fiddling. Now that it's quick, many do π€

Omarchy has been on an incredible growth spurt over the last few months. We've distributed over a petabyte worth of ISOs in the last thirty days alone, which is enough for 150,000+ new installs. In total, we're well into the hundreds of thousands of ISO downloads.
But what I care more about than the numbers are the anecdotes. I'm constantly hearing from people who switched from Windows or Mac to Omarchy and love this beautiful, modern, and opinionated Linux way.
This is something the Linux diehards tend to forget. What seems like old hat to them ("Hyprland?! Psh, I ran i3 in 2006!!!") is completely revolutionary to most people who've never used a tiling window manager. If you've only ever used Windows or Mac, Omarchy is like traveling to a different computer dimension β full of strange, wonderful new colors and designs.
There's still work to do before Linux is likely to take over the desktop for "normies". But that was never the mission for Omarchy. We've been targeting people who genuinely love computers, don't mind learning how they work, and are willing to invest time in memorizing hotkeys to be able to become much more proficient and efficient machine operators.
That's surely a subset of all computer users, but tons of such people exist! And it's not just developers, although they make up the lion's share. I've also seen Omarchy get embraced by designers and writers. Not just because this is such a fresh, new take on what a computer can look and feel like, but also because, as a community, we've dumped the silly gatekeeping that for so long has hampered the adoption of Linux.
It was part of the reason I didn't think Linux on the desktop was something for me personally for so long. So happy to have been proven wrong! And now I'm excited to help others come to the same conclusion.
Omarchy is for anyone who loves computers βοΈ

Great to see that vast majority of Omarchy downloads are from people not already running Linux. This is exactly the mission (and why I don't really pay attention to DistroWatch etc)! https://t.co/Xdc79F1PaV

Omarchy 3.1.5 is out with mostly a bunch of fixes, but we did add Super + O to pop any window into a pinned'n'floating overlay that'll be on all workspaces. Very handy! https://t.co/3b6VzbCT7l https://t.co/9UqARc3Vpv

Please keep posting and keep tagging! It's such a delight to see all these machines running Omarchy π. I've poured hundreds and hundreds of hours into this project, so seeing folks appreciate the work is very special. Never apologize for being excited about computers!

Gotta love the @cloudflare CDN distribution of the Omarchy ISO. I can download all 6.3GB in ~20 seconds on my 2.5gbit fiber connection. Pulling nearly 300MB/sec!! https://t.co/krnsiXLSA2

It's wild how good the $500 Beelinks are at gaming too. It's an excellent 1080p gaming box. On top of running my HEY test suite as fast as an M4 Max! https://t.co/fIZsAOpD83

You're never getting me back into an office full time, but I'd also hate to work remotely without these fantastic semiannual meetups. Spending a week together in person is invaluable for charging trust batteries and connecting as humans. Highly recommend it for any remote team.

Europe would do well to follow Gates on this pivot. The EU is responsible for just 6% of global emissions, but still thinks it's saving the planet by sorting and washing trash by hand, forgoing AC, or deleting emails (lol). Climate doomerism is degrowth nonsense in a nutshell.

@Beelinkofficial Here are a few of my regular benchmarks featuring the AMD 395+ that's in this Beelink GTR9 Pro. https://t.co/vbV9k8yUFo

The AMD 395+ is such a beast! @Beelinkofficial was kind enough to send me their new GTR9 Pro with that chip and 128GB Unified RAM, and it's just as amazing here as in the Framework Desktop. Unit is dead quiet too, even under massive load.
It's my favorite chip to run Linux on at the moment, but it's also pretty overkill for most people. It does 1m23s on my HEY test suite benchmark, which is fantastic, but an HX370 machine (SER9) β at less than half the cost! β will do it in 2m5s. And a 8745H (SER8) will do it in 2m28s at a quarter the cost.
Everyone talks about the local LLM performance, and it is cool that 128GB of unified memory can run huge models, but how much are you actually going to do that? The frontier models you can rent from OpenAI or Claude are still far ahead and much faster. So you really need a specific use-case for this to justify the expense.
Then again. The Beelink GTR9 Pro is $2,399 for 128GB/2TB. You'd have to spend nearly twice that for a Mac Studio with M4 Max 128GB/2TB (which runs the HEY Test suite benchmark in 2m22s). So the Beelink is still a bargain.
It is, however, $100 more than a similarly specced Framework Desktop. Although I don't think that matters much at this price range. You'll likely pick one or the other on aesthetics and availability.
Only nit I have is that the 10gbit ethernet in the GTR9 doesn't run with 2.5gbit switches. You either get 1gbit or you need 10gbit all the way through. That's a bit annoying, but you can solve it with a 10gbit switch in front.
So if you want the best small-form factor Linux machine at the moment, I'd strongly recommend the AMD 395+. If you like the aesthetics of the Beelink, or it's the only option available near you, and the price doesn't bother you, it's a no-brainer buy.
Great job @Beelinkofficial π

Europeans can comfort themselves in knowing that this is a typical evolution of history: Through the ages, great empires would rise, gain riches and prestige, rule like kings for a while, then quickly squander it all once the original vigor and talent that built it all died/left.

Europe has managed to breed out all entrepreneurial ambition. Anyone with an inkling of initiative has been forced abroad for 100+ years. It'll take generations to rekindle the spirit that originally built everything from Maersk to Mercedes. The genes are simply gone.

It's incredible what the Asahi Linux team has been able to do, but also a wasted opportunity from Apple's side not to help out. Let's hope whoever succeeds Cook will see things differently. Remember Bootcamp?

Omarchy's vibrant theme community is giving such Amiga demo scene vibes. Love what @iamdothash is pushing. Just make computers look cool, don't ask why, the aesthetics are the point.
