Turning a Linux desktop into an agent workspace: Claude, Codex and Hermes on Omarchy

Teknium · x · 2026-09-21

User @BkashJosi shares how they built a personal agent workspace on Omarchy (dhh's ready-made Arch Linux desktop): custom widgets, embedding apps into the desktop, tabs, and bringing Claude, Codex, and Hermes together in one place, shaping the whole machine around their workflow.

An accompanying guide explains the appeal via a kitchen metaphor: on Windows/macOS the AI lives in a "guest room", while Omarchy is a "workshop". Hardware requirements are minimal — a spare PC, 8GB RAM, an SSD, a USB stick, and Secure Boot disabled. Teknium retweeted it, noting every "I wish my computer could do this" moment becomes a little project.
