dhh's Omarchy PR turns Microsoft Office, Outlook and Teams into frameless web apps on Arch

Ruby on Rails creator dhh opened a PR on his own Arch Linux desktop environment Omarchy (38.5k stars): a new Install > Service > Microsoft entry that installs Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Teams as frameless web apps in one go.
- The script creates three launchers via omarchy-webapp-install, pointing at outlook.office.com, office.com/login, and teams.microsoft.com, with icons from the homarr dashboard-icons CDN (same source as its Xbox Cloud Gaming and Tailscale web apps)
- Launchers carry a Microsoft prefix so they group together, with a matching Remove > Services uninstall entry
- dhh half-joked at Satya Nadella: "I kid, but I also love. Let's upgrade these to full native ✌️"
The reaction: "bro killed windows" — wrapping the entire Microsoft stack as web apps on a Linux desktop is both a practical setup and an industry in-joke.
