Seeing David Heinemeier Hansson so excited about Linux on the desktop and building his ultimate web developer setup https://omarchy.org/ is inspiring! Check out the first 5 minutes of the video on the front page

Wait until DHH finds NixOS, where we can configure everything via single configuration. Even multiple machines.

I love Debian for what it taught me, but I'm not sure if I'll ever use anything else.

Yes, NixOS - and also Niri so your tiled windows don't resize themselves, and you get the extra-fancy screen cast and screen shot features. That's what I use, therefore it is the best.

Tried Niri. Didn't like the default shortcuts, but those can be changed of course. However, I couldn't get the current darkman state to be recognized by apps. Not sure what I have to do there.

I would love for him to find NixOS and then create a better version.
