Omarchy Linux Ships Pre-Installed on Dell XPS Laptops

Users post about receiving Dell XPS laptops preloaded with Omarchy Linux and share initial impressions.

DHH and other users including Wes Bos received Dell XPS machines running Omarchy. Posts describe a 50-second install and boot process plus an all-metal shell and OLED screen. DHH noted the out-of-box experience is fast enough that some mistake it for a normal boot. One user warned that learning keybinds is required to avoid early frustration with the system. Another compared the hardware favorably to a MacBook Pro. Separate comments mentioned ongoing driver issues on Linux in general.

I hate to say it, but Omarchy is life changing. sadly there is a huge problem. Learning the keybinds are 1000% ESSENTIAL to actually unlocking the operating system. I see countless people "try omarchy" and give up right away because it overwhelms them. too new and…

The unboxing experience for a brand new Omarchy machine is so damn incredible. We are going to have a lot of this soon. So many conversations happening now about taking this mainstream.

I forgive the confusion! The out-of-the-box setup process for Omarchy is so fast that it's easily confused with a regular boot. That's what Windows (and to some degree even Mac) has taught people. Getting a new computer is a long, arduous setup process. But it doesn't have to be!

It's been 0 days since Linux rebooted and screwed up my NVIDIA drivers. How Linux ever got associated with reliability is beyond me.

duuuuude, I got a dell! Thanks @dhh Apparently this is supposed to be the machine that rivals the MacBook Pro hardware. Feels amazing, all metal shell, nice 24” OLED screen. Let see how mad we can make the Linux bros running Omarchy

  Why didn't I use the US layout when I wrote code? Brackets and quotes are conveniently placed compared to the Norwegian layout.

  Do we really have to see just some text and a loading bar while Omarchy is being installed? This video creates an atmosphere that fits perfectly into a 33 second installation process. Please make this the installation video. I think everyone should get to experience that…
