A year ago I briefly tried Omarchy and then returned to the comfort of my MacOS. This felt like the exact opposite of my impressions in OSX adventures, which I wrote a long time ago when I was switching from Linux to Mac. I tried it on an older generation of Thinkpad and it didn’t click, not just because I couldn’t switch to worse hardware and the feeling of plastic under my fingers, but also because its tiling window manager didn’t work for me. See, the thing that didn’t click is the fact that every window was in the foreground. I’ve gotten used to the fact that I can open windows and put them in the background. I also very rarely have more than two windows in the foreground, which is the main reason I don’t get tiling window managers. I never really had the need to have the windows arranged in such a nice way because I don’t have that many of them opened. After this experiment was done I was still attracted to trying Linux again, which is why I’ve put Arch Linux on my old Intel-based Macbook and I really enjoyed that. I didn’t use hyprland as a window manager, but labwc, a proper stacking window manager. The most fun part was telling my AI agent to make the changes I wanted. Linux is still very attractive to me because it’s infinitely malleable and with AI I no longer have to spend any time on figuring out the configuration files. I can just tell my agent what I want and it gets things done. I am now waiting for Linus to ship support for Thunderbolt in the kernel, which is coming soon, so I can install Linux on all of my Mac machines.
