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.

    I don’t get how this project just received 8 million dollars. It really is just a preconfigured arch linux.

      $8 mil is pocket change for the investors. It’s like eight dudes all giving their bro $100 for his art project.

      It was all just a bunch of rich tech bros that made that $8M investment, with $1M from DHH himself.

      Its not the standard investment from another company where they do some due diligence. This was just a “we think this is the future of Linux” vibe investment.

          Its not the future of Linux, most likely a fad. The most it will be is a cult OS used by people on the far right.

          The only thing good I can say about it is that it has interested some people into Linux because of how all of the components are unique compared to Mac and Windows. Cosmic could be the main stream option for those users once it becomes more stable.

      because it’s not about a quality OS, it’s about being a hive for people to take advantage of others, and because the founder personally made connections to the people that publically gave him money.
