It's a dead-simple distribution with an opinionated setup that, well, mostly just works. It's a techie's version of a non-tech distribution where you don't have to tweak anything (or almost anything) to get a nice experience out of the box.

Think of it as "Ubuntu, but explicitly marketed for devs" Plus hype because DHH is a well-known figure.

Linux fandom really doesn't understand the power of defaults and the power of user experience. I mean, in the first versions of Omarchy installer you had to type in some CLI commands just to select and connect to wifi. This comes from Arch, a " a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple" [1] What's more simple than connecting to one of the most ubiquitous connection types via iwctl [2] during OS installation.

So DHH decided to make an opinionated config that mostly just works and provide you with a few conveniences out of the box.

Sounds a lot like Rails when you put it that way, which is no coincidence given the figure behind it.
