So this is about setting up a UI.. with no screenshots of the UI. Nice

I skipped through the 38 minutes and landed on like 8 instances were he was switching themes/wallpaper and 4 showing of bash scripts that opens a webpage. It looks like all the fluxbox/openbox themed minimal desktops in the 2000s - function follows form. Feels really performative.

DHH switched from Mac to Linux and is in the process of experimenting with his setup, but since he's famous within tech, it's getting a lot of attention. There's really nothing special about it.

I mean.. that vscode-like command palette for system actions incl updating, installing and removing packages looks rather nifty

Haven't "launchers" existed for decades at this point though? I remember Crunchbang (RIP) having something similar for example, and that must have been almost two decades ago at this point.

There are a lot of them yeah.

In this case, Walker is the launcher being used in Omarchy, https://github.com/abenz1267/walker. It's not specific to Omarchy.

One of Walker's features is being able to create your own custom menus quite easily with shell scripts.
