Any devs that find the visuals, keyboard driven workflow, or cult of DHH appealing enough to try Omarchy are likely already Linux users. Linux has been a great platform for devs for a long time. This is exactly why WSL exists, and why MacOS has a native Linux container[1] tool.. because Linux was eating their lunch in this user segment.

I've been using MacOS as my daily driver for 20 years exactly because it had the best mix of (what I used to say a while back), "Linux that works, and ain't ugly" OrbStack has solved all the issues I had with running containers on macOS. It's just a wonderful piece of software that just works. (Not arguing vs container, just specifying another option)

  It's really not Linux though. You don't get a modern GNU userland, or even a modern bash without having to brew install a bunch of stuff. You don't get the networking capabilities. You don't get a well tested and stable ZFS implementation. And Orbstack may be great but it still has to run a VM and a Linux kernel under the hood to run all your containers. For some, the Mac hardware or familiarity with the MacOS UI justifies these downsides. Personally, I'll take my Framework 13 with real actual Linux (Fedora workstation) every time :)
