TLDR

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.

@iamdothashLook at this beauty, Dell XPS 14", coming with Omarchy. Install time including boot is about 50 seconds. 🤩
@_MaxBladeI 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 uncomfortable. they never get to experience even 2% of the magic. I built this mini game called Learn Omarchy it teaches you to absolutely fly around your operating system in a way that is NOT possible on mac or windows. lessons start off easy and progress to full psychopath levels. they are timed and graded. you can only progress to the next level once you get three stars on the previous one. The game hides keybinds as you learn them to reinforce your memory. its free and open source. I still use mac os daily, but I find myself incredible annoyed that I cannot control my computer at the speed of thought. Omarchy is fast, organized, and insanely fun. It has completly changed the way I think about interfacing with computers, we are currently doing things WRONG in every way.
@dhhThe 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.
@praeclarumIt's been 0 days since Linux rebooted and screwed up my NVIDIA drivers. How Linux ever got associated with reliability is beyond me.
@wesbosduuuuude, 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
