Sep 01 Thrilled to announce @Cloudflare is sponsoring free DDoS protection, CDN services, and R2 hosting for all of Omarchy's infrastructure. We now host all ISOs, packages, and the mirror behind their formidable shield. Huge thanks to @eastdakota, @dok2001, and team πŸ™ 3.9k 126 41 174.9k 262 .
Sep 01 Omarchy is giving new life to entire vintages of Apple abandoned MacBooks that are still perfectly serviceable with the light touch of Linux 🀘 658 26 41 72.1k 142 .
Sep 01 All these European heath deaths are perfectly preventable. This is an intentional, willing act of climate harakiri. https://t.co/CmOg0yWmyN 211 3 23 24.6k 139 .
Sep 01 Meanwhile, yearly heath deaths per capita in the US is 4 per million. In Europe, it's 235!! Nearly 60x higherπŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€https://t.co/hSkVvOeO2n 222 12 11 28.5k 135 .
Sep 01 UN suggesting Europeans wear lighter clothing, sleep in lighter linens, and let in the night air in response to a claimed 175,000/yr heat deaths is the Hope & Prayers response to another mass shooting but over 1000x worse (there were 105 US mass shooting deaths in 2023). 665 27 27 67k 275 .
Sep 01 Europeans should listen to Singapore's founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. He's been quoted a lot, but not nearly enough: "Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history." https://t.co/q27QHqbC7Y 247 13 5 20.1k 247 .
Sep 01 This is what Europeans are willing to sacrifice on the alter for their eco calve: Their sleep, their productivity, their learning, and their life. Fits well with the other forms of suicidal societal tendencies flourishing in much of the old world today, sadly. https://t.co/pxGmlsipql 184 6 5 14.2k 284 .
Sep 01 UN rightly laments that 3.5x more people die in Europe from heat-related causes than do Americans from guns every year, but instead of recommending AC as the obvious answer, these are their suggestions 🀯. Eco death cult. https://t.co/t15U0NHz58 1.4k 92 93 185.6k 244 .
Aug 30 Let a thousand themes bloom! This makes it so easy to experiment your way into an awesome new look. Please share if you hit aesthetic gold! 587 17 16 69.9k 139 .
Aug 30 Never mind this doesn't work well in the rain, in the winter, or for anyone who have better things to do than travel back in time to an era before modern appliances reduced the needless toil of housework. 231 1 19 24.6k 204 .
Aug 30 Love this common Euro-cope: Just hang your clothes outside!! Learn to love the wire and clippers! It's almost as good as excusing the lack of AC with "you could just open a window and sleep naked without a blanket". Like our pre-civilization forefathers! 2.1k 56 176 265.7k 255 .
Aug 30 Here is the EU regulation that's causing this. They brag about condemning all Europeans to a wash'n'dry cycle as efficient as going to the river as it was some great accomplishment. https://t.co/5z7TkWGdxX 1.3k 36 44 138.5k 205 .
Aug 30 Also, while this new Miele is better than the absolutely awful Gaggenau setup we had before, it's still retarded. All controls are on a touch screen, so of course it's sluggish. The gas-vented LG we have in the US is with a dial and buttons. Infinitely nicer to use. 1.3k 10 41 134.5k 266 .
Aug 30 Europeans have no idea how ridiculous their washing'n'drying situation is. Totally cooked by eco-insanity. We just got a TOP-OF-THE-LINE Miele heat-pump setup, and it's still fucking 6:20 hours to do a single wash + dry!! Would take 1.5 hours in the US on our gas/vented setup. https://t.co/agV4IXidxV 8.4k 293 845 1.65M 301 .

Aug 30 I've finally found a way to monetize ricing Linux!! (Joke is on X, I would have done it for free or even paid for the privilege any day!) https://t.co/mYofAHAT2u 931 7 37 83.1k 161 .
Aug 30 Omarchy's tiling window manager goes hard with the Framework Desktop's user-changeable front facia tiles. Look at this beauty! 173 5 10 42.6k 126 .
Aug 29 Omarchy makes web apps look oh so good. This totally frameless design is what I've always wanted. Browser chrome, OS chrome, BE GONE! 😍 1.1k 32 49 85.9k 135 .
Aug 29 I love my Framework 13, but there are actually quite a few laptop makers specializing in Linux. I'm digging the new high-resolution displays on the 14" options from both @TUXEDOComputers and here Slimbook too! 368 13 48 82.7k 209 .
Aug 28 Heard from quite a few people who have the latest Macs sitting unused off to the side while an old ThinkPad or a cheap Beelink is running the main show because Omarchy is simply more delightful to use! 769 32 62 82.3k 201 .
Aug 27 This is the root motivation behind most everything well-done in the world. Build for yourself first, so you can clearly gauge the quality, and you'll likely find others who share your sensibilities. This is the story of Rails and Omarchy alike. 3k 285 49 179.7k 244 .
Aug 26 The Big Omarchy 2.0 Tour: If you're ready to try something totally different after using a Mac or Windows, this is your invitation to an adventure! https://t.co/2Bb7BOAEUl https://t.co/Ya56uit3Cv 2.8k 285 165 830.7k 195 .
Aug 26 "The Danish flag is everywhere in Denmark. It's at the airport when parents greet their kids coming back from holiday. It's on the birthday cake when you invite people over. It's on the buses on the monarch's birthday. It's everywhere and all the time." https://t.co/34s5mpf5p4 503 22 64 54.1k 277 .
Aug 25 No DDoS bandits are going to keep us down β€” we ride at dawn! https://t.co/KA3CzSjb2r 1.7k 45 51 63.5k 84 .
Aug 25 What a great idea! Learning to operate your OS with the keyboard takes a minute or two, but by the time you have it down, it's hard to image computing any other way. Manually dragging overlapping windows around quickly seems downright barbaric! 488 14 22 56.4k 244 .
Aug 25 Omarchy + Framework really are a match made in heaven! And I think we can make the installer EVEN FASTER and EVEN SIMPLER. Think preloaded on hardware and a turn-it-on-to-being-productive goal of 3 minutes or less. The days of spending HOURS setting up a system need to be over. 838 23 37 82.6k 278 .
Aug 25 Wow. This looks amazing! 😍 568 17 15 62k 26 .
Aug 25 @Cloudflare @eastdakota @ryanrhughes Now I just have to record a whole new video again to show off all the amazing stuff we packed into this release. Oh, and finish a Rails World keynote after that πŸ˜‚ 318 1 5 25.9k 199 .
Aug 25 @Cloudflare @eastdakota Finally, a special shout-out to @ryanrhughes who worked 16-hour days over the weekend with me to pull off the crazy AUR exit, setup the Omarchy Package Repository, and finish this damn release. Super hero effort not to let some DDoS losers spoil our party 🀘🀘 318 3 6 28.8k 282 .
Aug 25 37signals will have a booth at Rails World for the first time! The team will be there to chat Basecamp, HEY, and building with Rails. Oh, and we'll have a Omarchy 2.0 COPY PARTY with limited-edition USB keys too πŸ˜„ https://t.co/pFzKZtQeQu 665 22 17 65.1k 237 .
Aug 25 Omarchy 2.0 is ready!! New ISO, AUR-free installation, Chrome micro-fork, Starship prompt, new icon, and 400 other changes from 45 committers 🀘 https://t.co/N4vr4WqcSB https://t.co/c1roIuJ4Eh 2.7k 269 134 438.2k 193 .

Aug 25 Maybe we can get this down to sub 3 minutes when we get the offline installer. You're still downloading almost 4gb of stuff! So on a slow connection that'll take a while too πŸ˜„ 152 3 7 25.6k 175 .
Aug 25 Omarchy 2.0 now installs in under 5 minutes on a fresh machine with a fast connection: 1 min: Formatting + Encrypting drive 1 min: Installing Arch itself 2:40min: Installing + configuring all of Omarchy FIVE MINUTES AND YOUR COMPUTER IS READY TO ROCK! 🀘 1.7k 71 70 83.4k 255 .
Aug 24 It's done! AUR is out of the installer hot-path for Omarchy 2.0. Just a few optional straggler packages to convert. But this DDoS attack is not going to stop us from moving forward. Nothing is going to stop us. 591 6 18 44.6k 210 .
Aug 24 We're pulling AUR out of the Omarchy install hotpath. It's an incredible resource, but we actually only need a handful of packages for the initial setup, and we can just host those ourselves. AUR really needs a new mirror strategy to avoid this predicament. 1.2k 21 42 120.4k 257 .
Aug 24 Aaaaand it looks like the AUR is back in business! 382 1 5 35k 50 .
Aug 24 Instead of trading in your old MacBook, you could trade up to Omarchy! Can't wait to make all this as seamless as running a single ISO with all the old MacBook quirks addressed, so we can give new life to the devices Apple is abandoning. 464 28 31 64.6k 237 .
Aug 24 Omarchy 2.0 will use the awesome new icon designed by @tahayvr for both the Omarchy Menu and the About screen. https://t.co/GX2ToBvgsX 991 15 47 96.5k 134 .
Aug 24 You can simply choose to view the world in a way where every obstacle is a blessing and every setback an opportunity. Don't wish for things to be easier! Do work to become stronger. 1.2k 98 17 87.8k 181 .
Aug 24 Omarchy 2.0 release might have to wait a little longer. The AUR DDoS attack has picked back up, but the upside is that we're building in all sorts of resilience for the installer to deal with the assault! And meanwhile, we'll build a complete Omarchy package mirror for all. https://t.co/TBQ4FdB78q 1.2k 31 40 236.1k 298 .
Aug 23 Omarchy isn't just for bringing back old Mac gear to new glory. It's very much also for bringing back old Windows gear! So many Surface setups in the Omarchy community now. Dig it. 527 7 33 73.1k 180 .
Aug 23 Omarchy 2.0 will show a QR code to join the community Discord right in the error message, if something goes wrong during the install. https://t.co/3WSE2p0iM6 1.2k 23 55 80.8k 157 .
Aug 23 Omarchy 2.0 is very close now. After setting the pace of a new release every few days, it's been a small eternity of two weeks since the last one. But boy is this one a massive upgrade! And now with a kick-ass online ISO installer 🀘 1.6k 44 63 111.8k 232 .
Aug 23 This exchanged turned out in the best way possible: @halilozercan is going to have this lovely fingerprint in Omarchy 2.0 that's shipping shortly 🀘. Amazing how far we can go when we start being courteous to each other πŸ˜„ https://t.co/O7Rh7BmOea 490 7 20 101.8k 244 .
Aug 22 I absolutely loved that design. Maybe it wasn't ideal for running permanent mega workloads, but by golly was it pretty! Would love to see it get a new life with Omarchy 🀘 273 5 18 51.2k 170 .
Aug 22 Beelink now has a fix for the poor wifi range on the SER8. If you have a unit and would like to get the remediation kit, send a picture of your SN code along with shipping address to support-pc@bee-link.com. The kit is free! Great to see that level of support 🀘 418 11 22 48.9k 261 .
Aug 22 Just because Apple gives up on its hardware doesn't mean you have to! Will work to make future Omarchy ISOs have everything in the box to save MacBooks left behind by Apple from obsolence. 1.1k 44 70 112.2k 188 .

Aug 21 Great write-up from @hjanuschka on what it took to create the micro-fork of Chrome for Omarchy's live theme switcher. Will be shipping as default in the next version very shortly! https://t.co/dRYXGeWM32 276 11 11 35.3k 203 .
Aug 21 Also, AI absolutely is a blessing. Incredible what it can do. Incredible when it Just Works. But we're still a million miles from AI obsoleting all programmers. And it doesn't feel like we've gotten that much closer to the promised land in the last 6-9 months. 891 25 39 60k 260 .
Aug 21 (Observation courtesy of trying to make GPT5 do proper partition offsets and sizing. It never got there, but I'm sorta glad, because now I instead understand how it actually damn works!) 527 3 17 48.7k 186 .
Aug 21 AI demonstrates the sunk-cost fallacy perfectly: Just one more "this doesn't work!" prompt, you think, and it'll fix it!! But often it won't, and now you've wasted 30 minutes begging that you could have spent learning how to actually fucking do it yourself. 6k 631 260 368k 257 .
Aug 21 The best camera is the one that inspires you to go out and shoot. That was Leica for me for so many years. Glad to see Omarchy bringing that same inspiration to others. The tools we use actually do matter. Motivation is rocket fuel for productivity. 655 19 24 66.2k 249 .
Aug 20 I'm constantly starting tests and demos of Rails apps and other tools. This new try tool from @tobi looks exactly what I didn't even realize that I needed! https://t.co/n8ahi05Utz 652 35 36 68.9k 179 .
Aug 18 Maybe @elonmusk and the team at @x will clean this up at some point. Maybe instead of follower counts, they should be showing MAU counts? 982 14 66 86k 137 .
Aug 18 How is it possible to have 3.4 million followers and this level of non-existent engagement? https://t.co/sZqeNrv1E2 3k 46 340 381.5k 115 .
Aug 18 The DDoS attack on AUR and Arch infrastructure continues. What sad, pathetic people to assault open source like this! I hope the AUR/Arch teams soon decide they've had enough and accept the offer to get protection behind the @Cloudflare shield. Could end all this very quickly. 2k 57 103 201.2k 277 .
Aug 18 Also fascinating to see where people are coming from. This is visitors to https://t.co/7fv5hQePSv from the last month. As always, it's America that leads the way, but per-capita, Germany is almost exactly as engaged πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ🀘 https://t.co/4deI8u3S6x 254 4 30 35.8k 243 .
Aug 18 The Omarchy Discord now has well over 5,000 members. Don't know if I've ever been involved in a community that's grown this quickly. Omarchy didn't exist in public two months ago! https://t.co/AgsWlLFtm3 467 14 19 43.9k 203 .
Aug 18 Ha! I was trying to recall whether the average age of the Apple board was 68 or above 70 for an argument, so of course I asked AI, only to have it cite me as a source πŸ˜‚ https://t.co/3ZC67GvVCN 586 12 41 53.6k 192 .
Aug 17 All these manuals are written with Writebook, btw. It's our free love letter to open publishing on the web. https://t.co/XAGIWkKUqP 173 8 10 27.4k 131 .
Aug 17 Also started fleshing out the broader philosophy behind Omakase Computing. https://t.co/yj206kLxDu 74 1 3 25.7k 98 .
Aug 17 I spent the summer of 2004 writing documentation for the first release of Rails. Twenty years later, I'm doing the same for Omarchy. Good docs seed good vibes right from the get go. https://t.co/eAKXvlUcca 1.2k 22 30 61.1k 205 .
Aug 17 This is what I love about open source: Discovering a common mission together. Then watching the barn be raised by strangers from around the world. Magic! 186 3 7 25.7k 153 .
Aug 17 Go racing for a couple of days and suddenly the Omarchy PR backlog is up to 80! The energy unlocked already is incredible. We will channel all of it into an incredible pro system: Beautiful, productive, delightful, and different. https://t.co/fyuwOVpPxq 870 18 24 78k 253 .

Aug 17 Next version of Omarchy will ship with an ultra minimal starship setup that @tobi convinced me was better. So now there's path, git branch, last-command-failed notification, and a default .config/starship.toml for folks to easily tinker with! https://t.co/1JOkb6uhED https://t.co/tWI8Wb6PDO 1k 26 80 101.9k 290 .
Aug 16 How it started / How it's going. Testing at Indianapolis with @tobi in 34C ambient and probably 42C cockpit is no damn joke. 45 mins stints in that sauna trying to hit a lap time within 0.2s every time. Crikey. https://t.co/mlDVb5U2ev 208 3 17 31k 234 .
Aug 16 Life is funny. Couldn't have convinced me two years ago that my full-time occupation would turn into building and managing a new Linux distribution. Would have laughed you out of the room! 2.3k 35 76 137k 188 .
Aug 16 CV's are full of shit. All those impact summaries are all too often exaggerations, and who knows how much of a project listed someone actually did? No, if you want the truth, you gotta look at real work. https://t.co/17UemjRcc1 2k 118 112 230.7k 227 .

Aug 16 In fact, this is part of a larger point. Linux has long chased mainstream acceptance by being as close a copy of Windows or Mac as possible. But it often ends up in uncanny valley. No. Embrace your own identity. Make Linux its own proud keeper! 564 21 30 56.5k 244 .
Aug 16 Rewiring your muscle memory for copy/paste when you go from Mac to Omarchy is an important rite of passage. Not friction to be whittled away. We need more rituals in society. More tokens of sacrifice. This is a small one. Make it proudly. 1.1k 22 134 212.7k 238 .
Aug 16 I've just heard from another major, well-known tech company that's considering making Omarchy their prescribed Linux distribution. Mission Control isn't kidding. We might finally see The Year of Linux On The (Developer) Desktop come true! 210 5 9 24.8k 238 .
Aug 16 This is awesome! Imagine working for a company so cool that they give you an Omarchy machine when you start! Early days Rails had this too. The cachet of being pioneers and attracting top talent that really responded to that. 378 12 9 50.9k 226 .

Aug 15 The amount of human capital squandered trying to work in 26C or get a good night's sleep in such heat is tragic. Anything over 24C in the office, and I'm ready to zone out. <19C in the bedroom at night is a must too. https://t.co/oAUzgsGDf2 234 8 26 38.6k 243 .

Aug 15 Turns out the outages for the AUR and https://t.co/AYjyWJp8wM aren't just a case of computers gone bad. There's a coordinated DDoS attack in progress. I really hope it doesn't have anything to do with all the attention Omarchy is getting, but either way, we will get it sorted. 1.1k 34 34 73.7k 277 .
Aug 15 The problems seem to be ongoing for the AUR and now even https://t.co/AYjyWJp8wM. Is this a coordinated attack? Just some overloaded servers? Whatever is the problem, we can fix it. Quickly. But I need to reach whoever runs the show to offer help. Surprisingly hard to do! 95 2 8 25.7k 272 .
Aug 15 Neovim is the default editor for Omarchy. It's easy to install VSCode, Cursor, Zed, or whatever on the side, but you really should try to give it a go β€” and having @typecraft_dev help you how for free is a great deal! 716 17 41 86.2k 217 .
Aug 15 I also think it's good to have in-group jokes, memes, and levity. We don't have to be in a constant state of solumn propriety. We can walk that line just fine. Not so serious it's all drab, but serious enough that we mean it. 180 1 2 20.7k 225 .
Aug 15 Who says (b)romance is dead?! πŸ˜‚ But seriously, I think we are better off when it's kosher to earnestly be able to just say "I appreciate you and your work" without the virtue-signaling caveats and asterisks. 1.4k 17 37 132.7k 208 .

Aug 15 I've only been on Linux for 18 months, so it's a real point of pride that Omarchy appeals to both recent converts and long-time Linux users alike. Beautiful, fun, and simple software for all ✌️ 430 5 21 50.1k 193 .
Aug 14 AUR still seems to be struggling on and off. I'd really like to help get this resolved. Got a lot of friends in this industry with interest in doing the same. Can someone connect us?

Aug 14 @BrendanEich Anyway, Brendan has had the last laugh. Brave is thriving, Mozilla is floundering. But it still wasn't right. And I'm embarrassed for letting it happen like it did back then. We all should be. And we should say "never again" and "I'm sorry, Brendan". I am. Sorry. 937 18 21 44.1k 277 .
