- DHH on X — "Omarchy is ready! Hyprland + Arch have never been so easy. Everything comes preconfigured, preinstalled, and with six beautiful themes in the box. This is the smoothest, most pleasant operating system I've ever had under my fingers.
- DHH on X — "Huge kudos to @vaxryy for making Hyprland! I've been so impressed with his creation that I've committed to a €1,000/month support level for at least a year as a token of my appreciation. Consider chipping in if you end up digging it too.

- DHH on X — "Next step for Omarchy is clearly to level up to become a full distro. Then convince @FrameworkPuter and @Beelinkofficial to offer it preloaded. Going to will The Year of Linux into existence!"
- thalys on X — @dhh I'm a designer using macs for work in the past 14y. no linux experience. decided to jump straight into omarchy and i'm lovin it. already made a small theme for myself, some binds using grim/slurppy/satty to emulate cleanshot, replaced dropbox with owncloud on waybar, etc.
- Elvinas Predkelis on X — "All right, Omarchy is quite something. It's been a while back since I've last used Linux as a daily driver. But Omarchy is a breeze - snappy, intuitive and a joy to use. Some personal tweaks here and there, adding Ghostty and it's a dream machine. Thank you @dhh 🙏
- DHH on X — "Mainstream Linux distros have been focused for too long on being as similar to Windows and Mac as possible to ease adoption. I've come to believe this isn't the way. Linux needs to embrace its own aesthetic, its own ethos, unapologetically. Lean into rice and TUIs!"
