'''Omarchy''' is an [[open source]] [[GNU/Linux]] [[operating system]], based on [[Arch Linux]].<ref>https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=omarchy</ref><ref>https://github.com/nocstah/awesome-omarchy-guide</ref> By default, its interface is composed of tiles for windows, through the Hyprland desktop environment, rather that the floating window method used by other popular systems such as [[Windows (operating system)|Windows]].<ref name="htg">https://www.howtogeek.com/i-tried-the-viral-linux-distro-that-raised-millions/</ref> The system was created by David Heinemeier Hansson, and first released on June 26, 2025. However, it began gaining popularity after its fourth major release, called Omarchy Quattro, which was released in August 2026.<ref name="htg">https://www.howtogeek.com/i-tried-the-viral-linux-distro-that-raised-millions/</ref> According to the developers, "It ships with everything a modern software developer needs to be productive immediately"<ref>https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual/91/welcome-to-omarchy</ref>
==Politics==
Omarchy has mostly attempted to stay clear of politics. However, they actively refuse to engage in [[identity politics]],<ref>https://omarchy.org/doctrine/</ref> and resist [[mass surveillance]] in western countries.<ref>https://lunduke.substack.com/p/omarchy-linux-rejects-retarded-california</ref><ref>https://www.theregister.com/software/2026/03/13/nanny-state-vs-linux-show-us-your-id-kid/5220587</ref><ref>https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify</ref> The founder himself, David Heinemeier Hansson, has made some remarks about the potential harms of unchecked mass migration.<ref>https://www.thepodcastsummary.com/episodes/NYFGCESmikA/dhh-mass-immigration-europe-cultural-assimilation.html</ref><ref>https://dhh.spicytakes.org/post/2025-03-11-closing-the-borders-alone-won-t-fix-the-problems-aca49088</ref> As a result, the left has engaged in the usual attacks, calling the organization and its founder fascists, Nazis, etc.<ref>https://www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-omarchy-doctrine-fascism-stage-one-by-definition/</ref><ref>https://stopomarchy.org/</ref>
In September 2026, Omarchy announced that they were partnering with the Chinese company Alibaba, to produce and release a version of Omarchy for Chinese market. This will be a special release, separate from the international version<ref>https://omarchy.org/news/2026/09/alibaba-cloud-joins-as-founding-corporate-patron/</ref><ref>https://www.phoronix.com/news/Omarchy-Alibaba-3M</ref> In order to be approved for use in China, it will need to include the spyware applications which are mandated by the [[Chinese Communist Party]]. While Omarchy presents this as an opportunity for Chinese citizens to benefit from, and in turn help the project, some in western countries are concerned by Omarchy's apparent willingness to embed state-mandated spyware in any version of their software.<ref>https://rumble.com/v7hcbgg-omarchy-goes-to-china.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a</ref>
