Omarchy Field Guide: From macOS to Arch + Hyprland in 12 Chapters

Omarchy is a Linux distribution launched in 2025 by DHH, creator of Ruby on Rails and co-founder of 37signals. Built on Arch Linux with the Hyprland tiling window manager, it applies an omakase philosophy: the team makes software and interaction choices for you, so you get a polished, keyboard-driven workstation out of the box. This piece is a hands-on manual with twelve chapters and two appendices, covering installation, first-run interaction, hotkeys, configuration files, software setup, screen capture, the built-in AI agent, system maintenance, migration from macOS or Windows, advanced customization, and troubleshooting. It includes a CLI cheat sheet, FAQ, Chinese IME and proxy setup guidance. Written as an enthusiast walkthrough rather than a critical review, it mostly omits trade-offs and failure reports. Useful as a practical reference for developers who want Arch-like power without the usual setup grind.

A beautiful, modern & opinionated Linux distribution by DHH

Omarchy is a Linux desktop distribution led by DHH, designed to deliver a beautiful and coherent out-of-the-box experience. It bundles a curated set of software—terminal, Neovim, AI tooling, TUIs, GUIs, browsers, and more—alongside unified hotkeys, clipboard history, reminders, and system utilities. Instead of a neutral base, it encodes the author's opinions directly into defaults, reducing configuration burden while keeping a consistent workflow. The repository version-controls install scripts, dotfiles, themes, and an extensive manual mirrored to a docs site, making the entire setup reproducible and auditable. It also includes agent-related files (AGENTS.md, skills) for AI coding assistants. Ideal for developers and creators who want a polished, opinionated environment without assembling one from scratch.

htop Explained: Load Averages, Process States, and More

A comprehensive walkthrough of htop's interface, explaining every field from uptime and load averages to process states (R/S/D/Z/T/t) and memory metrics (VIRT/RES/SHR). The author uses /proc filesystem dives, strace, code examples, and hands-on experiments to debunk common misconceptions (e.g., load average ≠ CPU usage). Includes an appendix analyzing every startup process on Ubuntu Server 16.04 and an extreme slimming guide. For backend engineers who want to truly understand Linux process monitoring.
