phevdev: Let Omarchy Be Their 10-Year-Old Daughter's First Computer OS
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".
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.
zegwadekh says "this omarchy stuff is fun to say the least! this revived laptop from ~2012 never felt so fast! thanks nvidia for free tokens."; the still is a "Battery" panel headed "THRESHOLD" and "0%", with "Battery size" "12Wh", "Health" "27%", "Charge cycles" "0", "Battery state" "Holding", and "Charger" "Online (Mains)" rows and "Power-saver", "Balanced", and "Performance" buttons, over a Hermes agent reply signing off "Hail Omarchy!" with a "nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a..." model label cut off.
