Early Omarchy Impressions -
First of all, anybody who is already Linux pilled does not need to install this. I didn't need to install this. Everything special about Omarchy could have been configured on Arch or Cachy or Fedora with not too much effort
I think soon omacom is going to have to decide if they keep it based on arch, move to something else like maybe Nix, or do their own thing. Given how much money they raised they will probably do their own thing, or give some cash to whatever they move to.
I have an interest in Omarchy succeeding in the long run because nobody else seems to be interested in a premium AI ootb experience. Given how excellent local models are I think the genie is really out of the bottle. All the frontier American models could go out of business tomorrow and local models would remain useful, and I get pretty good speed and responses out of Qwen 3.8 on my AMD 7900XT. Again there's nothing particularly special about how Omarchy implements this other than preinstalling mise, and a hyprland plugin to call up those agents.
Only another distro taking that same AI-centric approach is going to challenge the hype and funding it has. However the people who hate Omarchy the most are anti-AI. So they are doomed to helplessly scream about this on bluesky. It's kinda fun to watch
