Omarchy is ready! Hyprland + Arch have never been so easy. Everything comes preconfigured, preinstalled, and with six beautiful themes in the box. This is the smoothest, most pleasant operating system I've ever had under my fingers. omarchy.org
For the last few Beelinks I've used, I don't even bother to boot the bundled Windows. Just plug in that Omarchy USB stick and marvel at how quickly you can get a fully productive system going. And we are going to make that even faster when we do the full ISO!
I've been talking about this via Omarchy and Omakub, but officially got the @Beelinkofficial SER9. Couple things to note, comes with Windows 11 Pro out of the box. Booting is excessive and installing Windows updates take 45-75 minutes to install post-reset. Switched to…
If you keep promoting good ideas and good ideals, they'll eventually spread. We've been planting these seeds of persuasion for a quarter of a century. Now we bask in the shade of fully grown and mature conversions. world.hey.com/dhh/the-long-a…
Silicon Valley's new status symbols. Sharing in my little newsletter shortly (link below).
Linux marketing plan: Just show people how good and beautiful it can be. Dazzle them with rice, lure them with the TUIs, and then release the FOMO with an affordable call to action 😄
Oh hello. @dhh made do it :)
At this point, any tech company can be declared a “criminal gang” in France. A decade of efforts to attract tech investment is being undone by a few bureaucrats advancing their careers and political agendas — at the expense of the French people.
French authorities have launched a politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged “fraudulent data extraction.” X categorically denies these allegations. This investigation, instigated by French politician Eric…
"Always be part of the loop by moving code by hand from your terminal to the LLM web interface: this guarantees that you follow every process. You are still the coder, but augmented." -- @antirez antirez.com/news/154
While Europeans love to fret about the state of the American democracy, their states pursue free speech with ever-increasing authoritarian zeal, and by any means necessary. Disgraceful.

Love to see it. Evangelizing frameworks is fun, but fatherhood and starting a family? Divine.
Culture is shifting. @Nike just released a pro-family ad, highlighting Scottie Scheffler’s baby son as a “win” Children aren’t burdens—they’re blessings.
We moved to Linux as the default for new dev hires at 37signals a while back. Our setup flow complexity collapsed. It's just so much easier to automate everything on top of Linux than on Mac. And for our work, Linux is also just way faster since we use Docker for DBs etc.
Linux desktop setup up and running with Omarchy, thanks to @dhh efforts and recommendations. Been on Macbook for years, seriously considering moving Dev team to Linux, all tools we use confirmed working on Omarchy. Combined with Beelink SER8 its a powerful setup at a fraction of…
Love to see so many @Beelinkofficial computers being bought for Omarchy! It's a great match: Superb performance at an excellent price running a free and fast Linux setup. Hard to beat the SER8 in the $500 category!
I fully blame @dhh and his omarchy.org video.
"I use AI in a separate window. I don't enjoy Cursor or Windsurf, I can literally feel competence draining out of my fingers." @dhh, the legendary programmer and creator of Ruby on Rails has the most beautiful and philosophical idea about what AI takes away from programmers.
“You can say anything as long as it’s not illegal” is like a soviet joke

"There's way too much bouncing going on, and not enough scoring, not enough dunking [in business]" 😂😂 My favourite part from @dhh 's podcast with @lexfridman, breaks down well why exactly meetings are toxic:
Linux's ability to revive old hardware and make it feel fresh again is a serious superpower!
I installed Omarchy on my old Toshiba satellite P775 and it's amazing how it came back to life, even all the original functions worked again like the first day. 🚀
