phevdev says their 10-year-old daughter "outgrew" what one can do with an iPad for school and stuff. They gave her their old MacBook Pro (late 2013), but it was slow, fans were blowing all the time, and there were no updates: "Let Omarchy be her first computer OS - works like a charm." She loves it so far and "spent 2 hours trying the themes and backgrounds already", and they add "nice work there @dhh".

dayvsterdev says "I really didn't want to write this post." and "The Linux community already has enough people telling newcomers they're doing it wrong. I didn't want to be another one of them." They add "But my problem with Omarchy is exactly what made me fall in love with Arch in the first place." They link their blog post "My Problem With Omarchy Is What I Like About Arch", which says Omarchy "looks good" but adds "I think its pitch puts too much value on what I can avoid learning and too little on what I could learn to control.", welcomes people for whom Omarchy is how they got to Linux, and makes a case for "taking the next step, getting curious about the system you’ve installed and finding out how much of it you can make your own."
Korben posts "Omarchy, non merci", linking their article in French. It says Omarchy has many advantages, such as an install in under 2 minutes on most machines, a keyboard-driven tiling desktop, and themes that really change the look of the whole system, but is sharply criticized by free software purists. The article says a reader pointed the author to DHH blog posts on immigration in Europe, which it quotes, and that with Omarchy the author cannot separate the developer from what the article calls his racist ideas. It faults 1Password and 37signals, which each commit $100,000 a year to the project while saying, as the 1Password CEO did, that they do not approve of the opinions of DHH, and calls that too easy; it closes by telling readers not to count on the author anymore to use and promote the distro.
LundukeJournal quotes "Omarchy and Hyprland are fascist. Avoid them at all costs." and says it was posted "from the GNOME Co-Founder and SUSE engineer."; the still is a post under the name "Federico Mena Quintero" reading "@Gnaro Omarchy and Hyprland are fascist. Avoid them at all costs."

eddieor posts an article, "My 2011 MacBook was e-waste. Now it runs Omarchy and my kids' favorite game." The MacBook spent years in a drawer, macOS stopped supporting it ages ago, and it was "basically e-waste with a nice keyboard." They say the install took less than 5 minutes and the first boot felt snappy ("Boot time: < 1 minute :) nothing to tweak :)"). When their kids wanted to play something on "the old computer", they built "a small native game using claude called "tinkerlings" made just for them on Omarchy." The article closes "Old hardware isn't dead. Usually it's just running the wrong software."; the still is a "tinkerlings" game screen with "Adventures", "Sticker book", and "Dress up" buttons above "Feed Momo" and "Momo is hungry! Build a slide for three apples, then press Go.", with "A little hint" and "Listen" buttons, over a painted meadow of flowers with apples on a wooden slide and a door in a tree trunk.
jauneclaude says "This is surprising. Somehow my OmaSeek music DSH plugin has more downloads compared to pixel and themes. I expected it to be the least used" and "People are weird I guess (or maybe I'm out of touch)", adding "Also, it appears on "Omarchy Archive". Never heard of it before, but I'll take it"; the still is a chat reply reading "On npm, you got about 2,200 downloads in the month up to 4 Oct across the three packages:" with "omaseek-music" at "910", "omaseek-themes" at "719", and "omaseek-pixel" at "565", and an underlined line "OmaSeek also appears on the Omarchy Archive and in the DSH plugin directories."

Running in 3K 60Hz." They add "Let me upgrade to 120Hz" and "Total: 60W. For Kyiv situation with russian bombings of the infrastructure this is a life saviour"; the still is a white handheld partly under a monitor showing an orange-bordered Claude Code terminal window, beside a white remote on a black-and-white speckled desk mat.

dhh says "Thrilled to welcome @SpaceXAI as a Founding Corporate Patron for the Omacom Foundation. That's $1,500,000 in @grok tokens for the maintenance and development of Omarchy. Maybe soon they'll be beamed straight from orbit? Let's go 🚀🌕", linking the announcement in Omarchy news.
_hhnj says, in Chinese, that after switching their main development environment to Omarchy they installed the Linux version of Typeless and hit two pitfalls on the first day: voice input worked in Chrome but could not paste a single character in kitty, and the small floating dictation window disappeared when switching workspaces. The root cause is that the Fcitx5 engine was not packaged into the installer at all, and every time it fell back to clipboard + Ctrl+V, which of course the terminal does not accept. Two Hyprland settings fixed it, and they link their write-up, which they say can be handed straight to an AI.
EpistoAI posts an "Omarchy 4 quality-of-life idea: let the launcher show what an app is ("File Manager") instead of only its brand name ("Flea"), so anyone using your machine can find things." They say "The shell already reads GenericName, it just hides it in search", linking discussion #14497 on omacom/omarchy and tagging dhh; the still is a launcher with "file" typed, listing "File" ("Trigger › Share") and "Flea" ("Apps").
