David Heinemeier Hansson, known as DHH for his initials and creator of the Ruby On Rails programming frame, has launched his own Linux distribution only a few months after moving on to this other operating system, which he has presented as Omarchy.
The co -founder of 37Signals, the company of software That Basecamp signs, left MacOS just over a year ago, a bittersweet goodbye that arrived shortly after complaining about the business practices that the company founded by Steve Jobs was carrying out, of which it came to say that it was the mafia.
With this change of opinion, Omakub created, with which he pushed developers to «convert a new UBUNTU installation into a modern, attractive and completely configured web development system» for which It was only necessary to execute «a command».
«It is not necessary «A strong vision of what Linux can offer at its maximum.»
It is known that DHH fell a little short of Ubuntu packaged configuration, since it has recently launched its own Linux distro, which is based on Arch Linux and the Hyprland Mosaic window manager.
This is Omarchy
This has recently explained in a shared video on its YouTube channel, where you have recognized that this distribution is intended for refine the experience of use of this operating system, so that it can be easily used from the first moment.
This means that the SO «includes practically everything a developer of software Modern needs to be productive immediately, «that is,» from Neovim to Spotify, Chromium, Typora, Alacritty and Libreoffice. «Even Zoom is included!» DHH said in a statement.
This has also insisted that Omarchy «is not just a collection of pre -installed packages», but is offered as «a complete system, designed thinking both aesthetics and productivity», which «has always been a consequence of motivation»
«It’s not like Windows or as macOS. He doesn’t seek to be as familiar as possible. Seek to be elegant and better. It adopts the essence of Linux, «concludes this kind of letter of presentation, in which he invites the» most adventurous «to prove this novelty.
For its creator, Omarchy «is Linux in hard mode» And it starts with a context (ISO) in diapers, so to speak, in addition to Hyprland, it lacks login screen to the menu bar and the file manager, among other features. This means that it is completely customizable and can be configured based on the needs of each user.
However, what DHH proposes with Omarchy is a selection of Arch Linux and Hyprland based on those who use, in order to offer a simple experience so that users can use them from minute one, without having to spend time to their assembly, although with the possibility of customizing them in their own way.
For DHH, This system offers «an excellent development environment» and The truth is that it already has several followers, «about 50 collaborators outside 37Signals, while in Rails, obviously, it has thousands» has recognized in a company’s podcast. In this he has also advanced that during the next three years he will transfer all his technical teams, operations or programming to Omarchy.
