An Omarchy Journey (Part 2)
Yep, I got a ThinkPad
After installing Omarchy on a Chromebook, I was really feeling the sluggishness of the machine and decided that I would need something faster to appreciate what this new OS might offer.

Apple releases M5 chips
Seems like a big bump for AI tasks but I don’t find myself doing a lot of local AI. My M1 Max hasn’t skipped a beat and still feels crazy fast. Same with my M1 iPad Pro. At this point, I won’t need to upgrade until there’s a significant form-factor change (like I got with the iPhone Air).

An Omarchy Journey (Part 1)
Installing Omarchy on a Chromebook
I was sitting on the sidelines, enjoying watching @DHH create a Linux distro that seemed interesting and well designed. Or at least designed with good intentions (I couldn’t tell for sure until I tried it for myself). The itch to try it out was getting stronger.
I really enjoyed using Dia and found the homepage being a chat prompt useful for quick questions. This just cuts out the middle-man and points me directly to my primary AI right away. The only reason why I haven’t switched from Safari is that there seem to be a lot of security risk with these agent-based browsers (including Atlas) right now.
