Omarchy (by Omacom) is "We've made the decisions for you" Linux distro, heavily AI-assisted around proprietary software, designed to run proprietary AI coding agents (unusual security risk) having access to your full system, where they execute commands usually not stop for confirmation.

Tried it, even without the AI slop and security faults, I really doubt the reason why Year Of The Linux Desktop hasn’t arrived yet is because everyone needed a distro seemingly preconfigured to 37signals’ specific requirements.

You just can’t apply being “opinionated” to an OS like you could with a Web Framework.
