This is where you lost me.

Omarchy is stock Linux with vibe coded config files.

If we were seeing experimental kernel designs, new memory management, abstraction layers over GPUs and TPUs baked in as OS primitives than as device drivers, and so on, I'd get excited.

But AI slop propagated by a fascist with an obvious and stupid agenda? No. That's not an example of something interesting.

The comment you replied to is ‘how to say you don’t know or understand what Omarchy is, without saying it’

In other words, they lost me there too.

I know what Omarchy is. I have it running in a VM right now.

I have yet to see any OS developer go all-in on AI and agentic coding in the same way. Maybe Microsoft. But my point was about new operating systems, with new ideas.
