Linux Greater Than Apple

After 20 years of being an Apple superfan, I made the full switch to @omarchy Linux. It has now been my sole setup for three months. Never going back.

Omarchy feels like a glimpse of the future. With AI, software is now free to write. It doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all anymore. It’s now possible for your operating system to mold itself on-the-fly to your individual use cases and preferences. All you should ever have to do is ask it to do that for you. 

Omarchy is the only serious effort fully embracing AI and on a sprint to make that vision real. Not to mention, this thing is fucking beautiful. @dhh  + team + community really cooked here.

And sure, Apple products are also still beautiful. There’s no denying that, but once you glimpse the world beyond, you will never again unsee the soft oppressiveness of their walled garden. Apple’s ecosystem is governed by a brand of paternalism that doesn’t trust you to handle your own machine. It believes that you will helplessly hurt yourself if—God forbid—you choose to change anything about how it works.

So you can’t. They won’t let you. And that was maybe fine back when Apple was an innovative company. At least the choices that they forced on you were good and on the cutting edge. Today, it just means that you’re forever stuck with Siri.
