I'm surprised the DHH cult hasn't latched on to projects like Bluefin instead of this. They are way better workflows for development imo.

They serve completely different purposes and are not mutually exclusive. The main takeaways from the ublue stuff is how they build immutable OS images and focus on container-based development workflows. Omarchy is all about ergonomic desktop configuration. They are both cool projects.

You could easily replicate the container-based development workflows on Omarchy with distrobox even if you won't be using an immutable OS image. With more effort, you could replicate the Omarchy desktop configuration on a ublue image. Someone already ported Omarchy to nixos. I think we will continue to see a lot going on with immutable, reproducible operating systems and Omarchy will kickstart some cool stuff with desktop configuration.

If you think it's a cult centered around him, why in the world would that surprise you?

Bluefin looks super interesting! But I'm personally on a "less cloud everywhere" kick. I'm running OpenBSD as a hobby machine because I want to get better at real UNIX administration, which seems like a lost art. So my gut feeling looking at bluefin is that separating the OS layer and the dev layer gets me farther away from bare metal, not closer, which is not what I want right now. But I'm totally open to the idea that it could offer a better experience, it's just that getting farther away from the core OS is not what I'm looking for right now.

That's why I really appreciate what DHH is doing both for desktop Linux and with Linux server deployment. I think there's a pretty comprehensive worldview in advocating for both of those technologies. Not sure if that makes me a cult member or what
