Omarchy New Default at 37signals

David Heinemeier Hansson, on world.hey.com:

We’re going all-in on Omarchy at 37signals. Over the next three years, as the regular churn of hardware invites it, we’re switching everyone on our Ops and Ruby programming teams to our own Arch-derived Linux distribution (and of course sharing all the improvements we make along the way with everyone else on Omarchy!).

It’s amazing how far from the Apple® tree DHH has fallen. I understand there’s business adversarial history, but there’s more to it. I feel it also reflects a very real loss of the geek power that Apple used to have.

It’s an exciting new adventure for us. Omarchy is already by far-and-away my favorite computing environment. Right up there in joy and wonder with the old Amiga days or early OSX.

I really need to try Omarchy soon.
