153: DHH – Omarchy and Designing Your Own OS on Arch Linux

I talk to DHH about Omarchy, the carefully curated distribution of Arch Linux he's been refining for the last few months.We talk about stuff like:How did he discover Arch + Hyprland in the first place?What even is Arch, what even is Hyprland, and how the fuck do you make the mouse show up in Linux?Should you really be afraid of trying to maintain your own Linux installation?What are the main differences in workflow using Omarchy vs. something like macOS?What are the best options on Linux for the type of software where macOS has historically shined, like creative tools?What are the best hardware options for developers wanting to run Omarchy?Forgive the worse-than-usual audio quality, we recorded this last minute and spur of the moment with unfamiliar tools!
