Thinking of running omarchy, so I go watch some videos about it.
The videos are all talking about themes and testing AI agents. That doesnt tell me jack shit about the actual system and what it gives me as a benefit. How magical are the magical tools? What novel types of integrations really make the experience less stressful?
"Plugins", not sure if I'm sold on that either. In my day, OS "plugins" were just called programs. Is there a meaningful difference between them and a window or a rofi script?
I also think that the agentic focus, not just using agents to do your work but using agents to maintain and modify the system, and other peoples systems by publishing plugins, is a security disaster waiting to happen.
I'm still gonna check it out. I have a hunch though that I'm just going to get some ideas from it and then try to slap together what I like into an arch system myself.
