DHH open-sources Omarchy: one-command Arch desktop with 32.2k stars
bigaiguy · x · 2026-09-09
DHH open-sourced his entire Linux setup as Omarchy, a single install script that turns a fresh Arch install into a fully configured Hyprland tiling desktop — killing the classic two-week dotfiles struggle that sends newcomers back to macOS.
- Scale: 32.2k stars, 3.3k forks, 6,000+ commits, maintained under the Basecamp org
- Ships with: Hyprland compositor (animations, keybindings, per-monitor config), curated stack (Alacritty, Neovim, browser, containers, password manager), consistent theme across terminal/editor/GTK/QT
- Key differentiator: a real migration system (omarchy update) so a six-month-old install upgrades cleanly, unlike most rotting dotfiles repos
- Philosophy: intentionally opinionated — Neovim over VS Code, Hyprland over GNOME; swapping those defeats the purpose
- 100% open source
