I saw the fireship video on Omarchy, and it gave me so much excitement. I don’t like many of the design decisions, but it is really useful for converting users. There is only one issue, as I am sure many of you did, I left Arch about a year ago now and don’t want to go back. A project whose aim is to convert users to the coolest parts of Linux should be written in Nix!

I made this forked the repo after watching DHH’s Guide Video. Claude Code and I are working on rewriting the repo rn. I will be changing some of the design decisions as go along, but not many. As of writing I have just pushed a first rewrite that I have not tested but will have more by the end of the day. I am still really new to Nix, so would love help and feedback.

Sidenote on that: My intention for this is not to make the best nix distro, but just one that works out of the box and can convert new users.
