@dhh We need a version of @raycast on Omarchy as well. It's one of the most used apps on my macbook.

@zscaler @Microsoft Please support @OmarchyLinux https://t.co/u70Paspo5K

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh How can I pitch @OmarchyLinux in my company? I work for a big enterprise in The Netherlands and they only want managed devices (as in Microsoft Defender&device policies) + zscaler. Any tips would be very welcome.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in! https://t.co/zuf5h9ClWX

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh My biggest challenge is to convince our architects/managers to adopt it as opposed to forcing macOS/Windows on it's engineers. We talked internally about Linux also but they really stick to RHEL only. Any talks/advice on this part would be very welcome!

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh @dhh Which layout is this? I see three different layouts available but none where there is no terminal pane opened. Do you start it each time with “tdl c cx” and then close the terminal pane in the bottom yourself?

The new Dell XPS Linux battery test and HOLY COW, the battery life is EXCELLENT. A little background: Intel + dell + omarchy team worked together to get everything working perfectly for the new XPS. I am honestly shocked that I am having a "mac" experience with linux as far as battery life goes.

Here is my test timeline:

Saturday:
99% - 10:07am computer fully charged and on, walking to gate, suspend mode in backpack

99% - 11:00am - compiling rust, running agents, MiMo running on youtube, writing this tweet

80% - 2:00pm - forced to shutdown due landing the plane :( No more work, almost done setting up my machine! Very excited. Vim is there and so is tmux and zsh, but not my wall paper :( And i want to try Aether

75% - 2:30 - 3pm - i watched the new moist critical videos on the guy who threaten to kill people via ring doorbell. woah that was weird.

Sunday: 5PM
75% -> 62% - Sat in suspend mode in my back pack for ~14 hours. I wanted to see where I was at, will open back up in another ~14 hours.

Monday: 7AM
55% -> 5% - Monday: 3 hours of work. Agents are coding, neovim motions flying, youtube playing MiMo. Even took a 40 minute discord team video call and the microphone worked FIRST TRY??

Did... Linux just get a computer where you don't have to worry about battery life? It honestly felt better than my way back in the day Mac Air experiences.

----
Things I did not like:
* when the computer wakes up from suspend, its "chunky" for about ~30 seconds.

* the touch pad is annoying. the right click seems like its ~95% of the touch pad and i have a bit of a trouble getting left click regularly.

The new Dell is actually good. I am shocked right now. Omarchy also took 3 minutes to install and I was up and running in 5.

The primary reason why I am using omarchy is because 2 reasons:

1. everyone on my team is using it, makes certain aspects of life easier when everyone is on the *almost* same distro

2. intel + dell are working with each other and omarchy has a seat at the table to make things happen. this means i am using the super latest hardware with it perfectly integrated. pretty awesome.

Thanks Dell for sending me the computer for Omacon! I am genuinely stoked for the computer.

@SpencerGBull Great talk at Omakon! You mentioned that there needs to be a demand for a XPS version with the custom keys and without Windows; what's the best way to make Dell aware of this? I'd like to have such a version of the laptop.

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh I just ordered the GMKtec EVO-T2 Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Mini PC. 64GB RAM/1TB. Hopefully Omarchy runs well on it!

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@vinibarbosabr @LundukeJournal I wonder what @dhh has to say about this.

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh One more reason to use kagi

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@mischavdburg No bicep. We stepped away from it because it's too limited in scope and it takes people too long too learn. Terraform / Pulumi shop here.

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@cbmeeks @LundukeJournal Fedora runs pretty well with Hyprland as well.

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@vaxryy @kokopi_dev @FrameworkPuter You don't have time for women @vaxryy, you're too busy with Hyprland dev stuff for us. 😏

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@FelixCLC_ True, a lot of us hacked around with it years ago. The difference is how smooth it’s finally become.

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@Beelinkofficial But does it runs @OmarchyLinux by @dhh ? 😅

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@NumCupboard @dhh Care to elaborate?

[rdtechie @rdtechie]

@dhh I'm so happy I asked this question to you guys! There's a lot to learn from your answers. And btw, thanks for the mug! I hope next time it'll be an Omarchy mug. 😅 Cheers, Richard

@teej_dv You're all using @FrameworkPuter desktops/laptops?
