153: DHH – Omarchy and Designing Your Own OS on Arch Linux

I talk to DHH about Omarchy, the carefully curated distribution of Arch Linux he's been refining for the last few months. We talk about stuff like: * How did he discover Arch + Hyprland in the first place? * What even is Arch, what even is Hyprland, and how the fuck do you make the mouse show up in Linux? * Should you really be afraid of trying to maintain your own Linux installation? * What are the main differences in workflow using Omarchy vs. something like macOS? * What are the best options on Linux for the type of software where macOS has historically shined, like creative tools? * What are the best hardware options for developers wanting to run Omarchy? Forgive the worse-than-usual audio quality, we recorded this last minute and spur of the moment with unfamiliar tools!
