The biggest problem with Linux as a desktop gaining more popularity is the learning curve. In our bubble, you might not want any software installed and want your first install to barely have a desktop environment, but the average Joe wants their browser, music player and password manager ready to go. If omarchy is nothing but a gateway drug to making leaving windows much easier then I am all for it, even if we bikeshed about whether or not it’s a distributed (I agree it’s not). Once you have it installed you can customise just as much as you would any other “distribution”, it just makes that first step that bit easier. Linux, if it wants to win the war, needs to make it easier for new folks to onboard. The winning desktop distributions (omarchy, cachyos etc) make onboarding easy.

Show HN: Pertmux – A TUI to unify your coding agents, MRs and worktrees
https://github.com/rupert648/pertmux
Hey HN!Since terminal coding agents took over my workflow, I've been juggling more worktrees and MRs than ever — constantly switching between GitLab/GitHub dashboards, tmux sessions, and git worktrees. Agents would sit idle, MRs needed rebasing, and I'd miss it all while focused on my main task.Hence I built Pertmux. It's a Rust TUI (shout out to ratatui — http://ratatui.rs) that links...

Show HN: I made a mini site to see timezone shifts
Hey HN. I made a micro site one recent evening to see upcoming (and recent past) timezone transitions. At my job, we have some timezone specific code where we often see spikes in metrics due to random timezone shifts around the world. Just for fun, I wanted a way to easily see where and what this timezone shift might have been, so built this mini site to do so.Its fully clientside and works by...

Willdolater.dev – find ancient todo comments
I recently spent a weekend building this fun little project when a friend and I were comparing legacy codebases we'd worked on. I had the sudden idea that it would be funny to compile old TODO comments to see who else procrastinates tech debt as much as some we've seen.
The site is pretty slow; namely cloning and git blaming on repos with a large git history is naturally slow. If anyone has any fun hacks to make this more efficient - the code for this is open source! https://github.com/rupert648/willdolater.dev

Show HN: Reqbin.zip, minimalist and developer friendly pastebin
Hey HN! I built a modern pastebin because I got tired of pastebins that look like they were designed when Myspace was still cool. ReqBin is built on the T3 Stack (Next.js, Tailwind, tRPC, Prisma) with encryption at rest and a clean UI that won't make your eyes bleed. It also features multiple shortcuts with the hope of making using the website a smoother experience. Feedback is appreciated!I...
