I’ve been running Ubuntu on my second machine for over a decade.
After seeing another breakdown of Omarchy, this time from @NetworkChuck, I’m fully making the switch today.
He changed the entire desktop theme in seconds, used an AI agent to build a Quickshell plugin, handed a crashed process to the agent for diagnosis, ran games through Proton, and launched a Windows VM when Linux wasn’t enough.
Omarchy isn’t just Arch with a nice desktop.
It starts with Arch, Hyprland, Quickshell, and a keyboard-first workflow, then gives you an environment you can continue reshaping around how you work (the linux boys calls this ricing).
The operating system can become another surface your agents can help you modify.
Ubuntu had a great run.
