basecamp/omarchy
A ready-made, opinionated Linux setup built by DHH
Omarchy is a Linux distribution created by DHH that comes pre-configured with themes, hotkeys, development tools, and applications right out of the box. Instead of making users configure everything themselves, it delivers a finished desktop environment shaped by the creator's own preferences. The repository ships with over 50 manual pages covering everything from onboarding to custom theme creation and troubleshooting.
What it does
- An 'opinionated' Linux distribution designed by DHH that commits to one way of doing things rather than offering endless configuration choices
- Comes with a full manual covering navigation, the top bar, themes, hotkeys, unified clipboard history, notices, and screenshot/recording tools
- Documents its bundled applications, including terminal, Neovim, AI tools, development and shell tools, browsers, gaming, and a Windows VM
- Covers customization topics like dotfiles management, monitor/keyboard/networking configuration, fonts and backgrounds, and building your own theme
- Includes practical guides for Mac/Windows switchers, dual boot installation, unattended installs, security, and system snapshots
Why it matters
For developers tired of configuring a desktop environment from scratch, it offers a finished, curated setup ready to use immediately. With 26,857 stars, it's also a notable reference for how a shell-script-driven distribution can be assembled and documented.
