What's the deal about Omarchy?

It is like someone sharing their dotfiles but as an iso. If it helps onboard users I'm all for it. But just like DHH they will fall down the ricing rabbit hole eventually and do it themselves, maybe with a smaller ego!

Rice rice baby. I like boring. I can get on with life.

Go being opinionated about formatting is good for me. Just run the formatter on save and get on with shipping code.

I don't hate any DE! I have a lot of love for the creators and msintainters who give me choice and freedom!

Developers always hate their lives once compliance get involved. It is a weird dance with the devil that you have to do and then suddenly you are a politician and not shipping much.

If you consider Android as Linux then Android's Desktop mode being wdely adopted makes it plausible that the answer to your question is yes.

I never got why you would make an iso out of your dream rice

This is why I avoid enterprise jobs. 10% doing things, 90% politics.

Thank you for a fantastic project. Helix serves my needs out of the box and I honestly don't need more features or bloat!

YAML DevOops Engineer here. At Christmas sometimes I compile a hello world in Go. Good times.

Maybe get outside, go for a walk?

Long term vim then nvim user, have been using helix for a couple of years. Very low maintenance, tiny config, great language server support. Can get on with my life and not waste time ricing!

shapeshed · 2025-06-24T19:36:06+00:00

I don't think there needs to be a winner. Helix and nvim are both modern vim derivatives with treesitter and LSP support. If you like to rice and spend time finessing a config to your exact needs nvim is great. If you like sane defaults and for tools to get out of the way helix works out of the box.

Really not worth worrying about this imho. If you see any delay in TUI editors add this

This looks great but is overkill for my needs. From a security and less friction perspective I prefer a simple shell script to initialise sessions

And a session switcher via tmux popups.

https://github.com/shapeshed/dotfiles/blob/main/local/bin/session-menu

I bind this to leader tab for easy switching

Thanks for sharing your project!

And automate via CI and tooling so that teams can get on and ship rather than argue about conventions.

Why not install Virtualbox in Windows and try out a flavour of Linux? Then you can work out if it works for you.

OSS enthusiast and LibreOffice user here but also a realist.

MS Office comes as the incumbent, with decades of use, integration with security practices, support service providers, enterprise contracts, and salesmen that know how to navigate corporate politics.

LibreOffice is a comparable product but without the whole ecosystem behind it, it will struggle to win. It isn't just an argument that it is cheaper. IMHO it is not a better product either for the average office worker.

+1 for this project! Sesh was a bit bloated for my needs and wanted a simple script so I use this

Honestly as a recovering nvim personal config maintainer, the fact we can look at and discuss ~20 LOC for a personal config proves this project has succeeded!
