Omarchy 2.0: Best Linux setup ever? (News)

What up, nerds? Shaboy. I'm Jared, and this is change log news for the week of Monday, 08/25/2025. Did you hear that Elon Musk is taking aim at Microsoft with a new purely AI software company? It's called MacroHard, and its OS is called Doors. Seriously. But what is it exactly? Musk says, quote, we are creating a multi agent AI software company at XAI, where Grox spawns hundreds of specialized coding and image slash video generation slash understanding agents, all working together and then emulates humans interacting with a software in virtual machines until the result is excellent, end quote. As a lover of good software, I hate everything about this. But as a lover of good names, macro hard doors, that's hilarious and amazing. Okay. Let's get into this week's news. Omarchy two point o, the best Linux setup ever. DHH calls Omarchy his latest love letter to Linux. Up until today, it was a script that turned a fresh arch installation into a fully configured, beautiful, and modern web development system based on Hyperland. Now it's a lot more than that. Version two point o just dropped, adding an ISO installer, a package repository, a snapshotting setup for easy rollbacks, a minimum starship prompt, Chrome, theme matching, and a bunch more. This version features over 30 new contributors and a lot of love being poured into the project. David sure knows how to inspire and enable people to get involved and contribute to his software ideas. This begs the question, could Omarchy become to DHH what Git has been to Linus? Managing developer's block. Quote, writer's block is the paralysis induced by a blank page, but software developers experience a similar block, and it can even get worse over time. Sometimes a good analogy is that your wheels are spinning and you need to gain traction, end quote. In this post, Glenn Normington explores different kinds of developers block, what causes them, and how to get unblocked. You probably already know what causes your developer block, so I'll just highlight his unblock methods for you here. One, take time with learning. Two, realize when you're tired. Three, work incrementally. Four, write a prototype. Five, start with draft documentation. Six, avoid premature optimization. Seven, release early, release often. And eight, choose which yaks to shave. Glenn explains these, so click through if you want them unpacked. AI tooling must be disclosed for contributions. Mitchell Hashimoto makes a rule for Ghosty that I expect will be copy pasted all around the open source maintainer community. Here it is. Quote, if you are using any kind of AI assistance to contribute to Ghosty, it must be disclosed in the pull request, end quote. And here's why he thinks this common courtesy is necessary at our current stage of AI. Quote, in a perfect world, AI assistance would produce equal or higher quality work than any human. That isn't the world we live in today, and in many cases, it's generating …
