Bought another computer
This time a Framework laptop specifically for Omarchy (Linux)
I had an awakening the last few days
Open source operating systems are going to be MASSIVE
I was using Omarchy for the first time and wanted to integrate Hermes at the OS level
I wanted to hit a key bind then have a native widget slide down that I can talk to Hermes in
Something that would be IMPOSSIBLE in MacOS or Windows
I asked my Hermes to build it not expecting much. 90 seconds later it was done. I had Hermes integrated at the operating system level
This gave me a rush of thoughts and emotions
With AI agents being so powerful, if I daily drove an open source operating systems like Omarchy, I could completely customize my computing experience.
ANY computing experience I want, a single prompt away
I’ve grown to LOATHE most modern operating systems
Windows in my opinion is borderline unusable at this point. I only use it for counter strike 2 and WoW Classic. Mac integrates nicely with all my devices, but feels significantly slower and more bloated than it did just a few years ago
At no point tho did I feel like I could fix or change any of this. Now it’s possible
If I’m using my Linux computer and there’s something I don’t like, I just ask my agent to change it, and it changes. Down to the core operating system level. That’s not something I ever considered as a possibility
Then I took it a step even further…
What if I have an open source local model powering an open source agent harness that is controlling my open source operating system
Now EVERYTHING I touch and do when it comes to computers is completely my own. Completely the experience I want. Nothing out of place. Nothing annoying. Nothing unintuitive. No copilot. No bloat.
A malleable computing experience 100% custom to my needs that morphs and changes as I evolve as a person
I don’t think my brain can even 5% process the possibilities here
But it can 100% process that this is the future
I will be daily driving Omarchy on this Framework laptop when it gets in and I’m very excited to do it
Will be customizing it and sharing everything I do along the way. I’m 100% convinced this is the future of computing
Open source and customizable down to the bones.
Let me know if you want any videos or explainers on this.
