Imagine taking the lightweight, privacy-focused appeal of Linux and completely ruining it by hardwiring AI models straight into the OS. Nobody is switching from Windows for more forced AI features.

      Another criticism levied against the project is that it does not meaningfully build upon its base Linux distribution, as it consists mostly of configuration for existing open source software.

      From the wikipedia page. I didn’t see anything about AI, just a lot of donations from CEOs and some horrible opinions about immigrants.

        Omarchy provides a preconfigured desktop environment centered on keyboard-driven workflows and tiling window management. It includes development tools, AI coding agents, terminal applications, web browsers and desktop software, with system configuration and applications accessible through a unified interface.

        Forrest Knight made a video about it. From my understanding the appeal is that you can introduce new features, fix bugs and customize the operating system with the agent(s).

          Call me what you want, but the idea of a Linux distribution where you can modify config files using natural language like “make my taskbar 25% bigger and map meta+E to a new yazi window in terminal” without having to rummage in /etc for config files or hunt a specific command syntax sounds like something that would help both the seasonned sysadmins and newbies make the most of their distributions.

          Sure, a mistake could take you to grub rescue, but we could easily build guardrails around this, and I was already doing it to myself without the help of AI, so…

      Yes but Omarchy fails so completely on every conceivable level that it doesn’t actually fill a market niche

      That hasn’t stopped it getting more dollars per unit time since it started existing than any other FOSS project in history though

        TBF, Omarchy is also run and funded by raving rightwingers. Until further notice, I’m not going to assume out of the gate that this project is too (but fascists do love slop).
