It does warn you. It's an opinionated Linux for a modern developer/user. This modification absolutely makes sense in that context.

I hope this was an attempt at sarcasm.

The Omarchy team immediately fixed this because it was a security oversight, not an intentional opinionated choice.

Opinionated choice?

I recently used Arch Linux because I have a 4 GiB Mac Air that I want to use for something but it has too little RAM for UI. The installer was user friendly and fast. I got exactly what I wanted.

I don't think that I need Omarchy.

I have only one answer to this:

I'm too old for this shit.

Imo they could have sold it like that, in this case. A warning would be in order though.

There was no oversight and no security. It's vibe-coders pushing unvetted shell scripts and dotfiles.

They "immediately fixed it" after it blew up on X/Twitter. Just like all the other issues they've had in the past few weeks.

And now they formed a "security team" lol.

DHH was on the Lex Fridman podcast talking about this recent release of Omarchy in that most of it is "vibe coded". It is mostly just a bash script to configure Linux, but his approach is interesting.

AI as a core part of the OS that can just change or add anything you want. Linux is great for this because it has access to the source code for everything.

He said he didnt review the code line by line, just looked at the shape of it. Whatever that means.
