What Hacker News says

That remains to be seen. The whole concept is still in its infancy. An AI reviewer should have caught these issues when they were PRs. But you see, it wasn't even a PR. It was just DHH making a straight up commit on the main branch (as far as I can see). With a message "Do all the additional Docker configuration needed". Was it even AI-assisted? At least the commit message wasn't, AIs write smarter commit messages than that. I said on my earlier comment that DHH and AI get ridiculed automatically because people hate both. That doesn't mean that the ridicule isn't always justified. https://github.com/omacom/omarchy/commit/25799ee91f54c35e6d3...
In Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
It’s a bit more than Arch. There are a bunch of programs written in shell and QML/JavaScript. I guess at least they are using memory-safe languages, but shell scripts make it easier to write the type of shell-injection bug mentioned in the article. Personally if I started a new project in 2026, I would not choose bash and vanilla JavaScript as the languages to write it in. The repo for reference: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy
In Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
It's AI and dev forward in a brilliant way. It ships with its own skill [1], so agents actually work way better out of the box than on other distros. Something crashes? Click the notification and your agent solves the bug. It also has a very standardized UI library and a good plugin system. Due to those things the list of plugins is increasing by hundreds a day [2], I made one that adds Exposé like for macOS myself a few days ago. Most of them are actually good, and unlike other distros they look visually consistent. Customizing your system and participating in the community has never been this easy. Incredibly fun, feels like being a kid in a candyshop. [1] https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/quattro/default/age... [2] https://omarchyplugins.com/
