I just adore how quickly Palmer Luckey's modretro Gameboy goes from off to in the game! No updates, no boot lag. Just instant into the greatest game of all time (Tetris).

Omarchy 4 is going all-in on Quickshell. I mean, just look at these gorgeous background and theme selectors!

Omarchy does not contain one gram of bloat. I use everything we install by default. And it's incredible how light that package is: Just ~6GB for a complete system with all the apps, styling, and configuration needed to start doing professional work 🤩

Kimi K2.5 Turbo is hilariously fast on Fireworks AI.

Next version of Omarchy will color coordinate the Asus ROG RGB keyboard backlighting with your chosen theme.

Omarchy 3.4 will ship with a new Remove &gt; Preinstalls option, so purists can get that barren default setup they've been asking for. Just Neovim, terminals, browser, media readers, and the defaults. Take it, heathens!

The hysteria over that new event modal in the HEY Calendar was over top, but Jorge took a quick look anyway at what was needed to optimize, and it was very little. This is now live. Modal is preloaded, stays stored, and resets.

Added Install &gt; AI to the Omarchy menu for getting up and running with the common AI tools on Omarchy. Here's installing Open Code from dax and gang.

Lost the car after hitting a bump going through turn one at Sebring. Full opposite lock at 200 km/h. That could have ended very badly! But thankfully all that needed changing was a pair of underwear and the right front corner 😁

Got theme switching on a hotkey working for Omarchy. Enjoy Tokyo Night (default), Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Everforest, Kanagawa, or Nord. Also, made it trivial to bring your own theme to the party.

I normally prefer to listen to podcasts just on audio, but Lex Fridman is the one show where I'll actually watch it on YouTube. Because he mixes in so much additional visual context to what's being discussed. Like this clip about the Amiga demo scene 👌

"You must learn to handle the nights" is one of my favorite Jim Rohn passages. Echoing ancient Stoic wisdom with an endearingly memorable metaphor.

Few thrills in motorsports greater than flying flat-out through Eau Rouge at Spa doing 250 km/h and pulling nearly 3G 😍

Basecamp 5 is dropping very soon, and one of my absolute favorite features is that the whole system can be driven by the keyboard. Real nvim combo move gymnastics here!

Omarchy 4 is going to be so fun. Quickshell is ace.

We can just decide that our world should be different. That modern JavaScript can be made with #nobuild. That SaaS services can move out of the cloud. That Apple is not the end of history.

Omarchy 4 is going all-in on Quickshell. I mean, just look at these gorgeous background and theme selectors!

Tried to find the Rogan/Trump interview on YouTube but no matter what I search, it's not coming up. Would be beyond bonkers if they're actively trying to suppress it. Must be a glitch, right?

Twenty-odd years ago, Jason and I did this promo for Apple. It was made by Dave Morin 🦞 and lived on Apple's site. It's incredible how well it still holds up! I really do need a beautiful computer to do my best work. Today, it's no longer made by Apple, but the principles endure.

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!

I swear we didn't plan this, but just today, we finally NUKED our entire AWS account at the 37signals company meetup! This followed moving out compute+dbs in 2023, then S3 this summer, and now finally the entire account is GONE 🎉

ONCE is back! It's now a full-fledged application server for running dockerized web apps, like Campfire/Writebook/Fizzy or your own vibe-coded adventures. Zero-downtime upgrades, scheduled backups, and a gorgeous TUI with hyperdrive graphics. Enjoy!

Making Basecamp 5 capable of the kind of key combos I relish in Neovim has been such a delight. Can't wait to share with all the keyboard-everything stans very soon!

When I politely decline scheduling a "quick call", it's not because I don't literally have the time — there's always room for 15 minutes here or half an hour there! — it's that I can't afford to spare the attention.

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.

OMAKUB turns a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command. It's what I use for my work, and it's a great way to get started with Linux. Enjoy!

The game is changing. It's always been changing. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But however the new board is set, you'll win nothing by turning bitter about whatever old advantages you've lost.

Celebrating the hundreds of thousands of recent ISO downloads with a brand new 45-minute tutorial on Omarchy 3!

I love that while the 10x programmer is still a controversial concept to some in the tech world, Steve Jobs went straight for the claim that 50-100x programmers are possible.

The work is mysterious and important. So don't you deserve an Omarchy theme to fit? @Malakh7 delivers. Lumon Industries would approve.

What a privilege to be alive, right now, at this moment, just when the machines learn to think.

This Omacon keynote celebrates computers as more than just tools, but as beautiful, bespoke, and malleable objects. We have such a rich heritage to draw from in our industry, and we don't have to accept losing control over our machines or their aesthetics.

Next version of Omarchy will have a delightfully configured Tmux setup out of the box. Many terminals, including Ghostty, have panes and tabs built-in, but let me show you why I've still come to prefer Tmux.

Omarchy 3.4 will ship with a new Remove > Preinstalls option, so purists can get that barren default setup they've been asking for. Just Neovim, terminals, browser, media readers, and the defaults. Take it, heathens!

Added Install > AI to the Omarchy menu for getting up and running with the common AI tools on Omarchy. Here's installing Open Code from dax and gang.
