Omarchy
Tick the Box, Hope Nobody Checks
System76 now makes COSMIC contributors swear they used no AI at all, not even in the comments. I read the rule one clause at a time and got angrier with each one.
It Broke My GPU and I Like It Anyway
Omarchy cost me half a GPU, a monitor running at a third its refresh rate, and an entire website. I am still here, and my computer is fun again for the first time in years.
Half a GPU
My laptop GPU was quietly running at half power on Omarchy, after a full year of this exact machine giving me zero problems. Took less than a week to notice, and I still almost talked myself out of it.
Whoopsie
I deleted my own website, went looking for a backup, and found a beautifully preserved copy of my terminal color scheme instead.
