> What is different here?

I don’t understand how this is a question.

What’s different is that it comes configured this way out of the box, silently, without warning. It’s functionally equivalent to opting in to giving all user accounts root privileges, which is not what anyone expects the default configuration to be.

You can choose to configure your installs this way if you choose to do so. It should not come this way quietly by default.

The whole point of Omarchy is for people who want to use Arch Linux but have it configured the way DHH does.

So I think it's a little different. Anybody using an opinionated respin should understand what they're getting.

		> people who want to use Arch Linux but have it configured the way DHH does Then they don't actually want to use Arch Linux. The Arch Linux way is to read the excellent wiki documentation, learn about all the choices available, and then make all of those choices so the system is configured the user's way instead of some celebrity's way.

It does warn you. It's an opinionated Linux for a modern developer/user. This modification absolutely makes sense in that context.

I hope this was an attempt at sarcasm.

The Omarchy team immediately fixed this because it was a security oversight, not an intentional opinionated choice.

		There was no oversight and no security. It's vibe-coders pushing unvetted shell scripts and dotfiles. They "immediately fixed it" after it blew up on X/Twitter. Just like all the other issues they've had in the past few weeks. And now they formed a "security team" lol.

		Imo they could have sold it like that, in this case. A warning would be in order though.

		Opinionated choice? I recently used Arch Linux because I have a 4 GiB Mac Air that I want to use for something but it has too little RAM for UI. The installer was user friendly and fast. I got exactly what I wanted. I don't think that I need Omarchy. I have only one answer to this: I'm too old for this shit.
