A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt. If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: update to 4.0.1. I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.

    their “plugin store” is just the wild west of exploits and slop. well over 1000 plugins, all vibe coded, majority exploitable.

    If you install Omarchy on anything other than a VM I’m sorry but you’re an idiot and this “distro” is a massive disservice to new comers to Linux.

        I don’t know how I can give you some “sources” for that, but feel free to have a look at the few blog posts of the guy and make your mind.

        The above is my personal opinion which I have formed by reading the blog posts of DHH so I am not aware of any “sources” for that. Feel free to have a look at what this guy stands for: https://world.hey.com/dhh
