OMAKUB: Opinionated Ubuntu Setup in 1 Command

[@lagcisco]

Time to give modern Linux desktops another spin, thanks David

[@vsandhu84]

If you go in with an open mind you will not switch back

[@hounddog1011]

With you DHH! I have been using Linux for close to 30 years exclusively for development. What you have here looks like a great setup for programming --a forest for all the trees to grow! think I will give it a try. Many thanks for this putting this all together and of course building my favorite framework, Rails.

[@SkinnyGeek_1010]

Thanks for making this! Even though I’m already using Linux (Arch btw), I’m still going to try this out and recommend it to friends looking to switch. So cool!

[@mohsenfallah256]

This is what I have been looking for for a long time. Thanks a ton.

[@paulmurray3244]

What a great video. So cool to see you so positive and passionately talking about this.

[@t6hp]

This looks amazing! I've never been a Linux guy (for personal use), but now I might give it a shot. thank you!

[@EliasX962]

Thanks for the great work, keep it please up and keep pushing more open source software !

[@eduwardohoribe2273]

Damn, I really got scared at 20:22 XD

[@rtalexk]

I clicked the timestamp to remember what it was and got scared again. 😅

[@PankajDoharey]

That sound was scary.

[@erick-1027]

I installed it today on my laptop and everything looks and works great, it's a super friendly setup and ready to use, thanks for sharing it 🙌

[@freezer965]

Did you install it on a seperate partition? Cause I already have Ubuntu installed so I don't know what happens if i install his setup 🤔

[@erick-1027]

@@freezer965 I used a fresh installation of Ubuntu, and it is the only operating system I have on my laptop, I had to make some adjustments to the terminal font size but everything else works great, I also saw that some people installed omakub in virtual machines .

[@typecraft_dev]

Just checked this out. Its awesome!

[@RazoBeckett.]

Hello Nerd!

[@impactframes]

This is brilliant and elegant and efficient environment to work. I am graduating from my WSL setup and maybe even ditching windows hopefully so I installed Arch with hyprland because I didn't want to have a vanilla Ubuntu but all the extra effort is becoming too much for me, it took me a solid week to fix every issue and I still have some glitches here and there but with Omakub it took me about two hours and it was close to my ideal setup plus is using Ubuntu which is more standard for my ML work and more familiar to me so I am going to hop between my arch setup and this the only disadvantage from omakub is the second monitor can't switch workspaces and stays only on space 1 while in hyperland I can have about 20 spaces between two monitors but so far this setup is very convinient effective and clean 😊

[@ppietropiccolo]

i really love this, other than being very useful it shows that you actually do things and develop, not like the regular youtubers who do reviews!!

[@TheEdomaia]

Awesome! Thanks for making this!

[@user-ze3bc8hw3y]

This set up is awesome - I will give it go before any comments - thanks a lot...

[@nenepira1035]

Thanks DHH

[@dmferrari]

I'll try it tomorrow first thing! Thanks DHH

[@armariya]

Supurb work! Great job.

[@kalist8938]

Super cool. I will use it. Thank you !!

[@pablobello0]

amazing stuff

[@king_and_country]

Love this! 🤘

[@thienlh]

Nice! Looks like I need to buy a monitor and install omakub on my Steam Deck.

[@TheRealDunkirk]

Cue the people calling him to use Arch, Gentoo, or LFS...

[@ThePandaGuitar]

oh boy here come the arch nerds

[@twhyyt]

Thanks!

[@ADabtU]

I really curious about what is your take on elementary OS

[@88onage]

Niceee!

[@hesham14yahia]

this awesome

[@sethcenterbar]

Please please please collab with TJ Devries (I think is his last name) from the neovim community.

[@amitjosh79]

Hard to go back to laptops fan noise

[@user-lg9on9bm7c]

Can this command work on basic debian or does it need exclusive ubuntu for this command to work. As we know Ubuntu is built on top of debian, if we need to install additional packages in debian before the command, we can do that, but starting with Ubuntu really puts some people on hold.

[@kishanbsh]

Did you use snap internally to install everything ?

[@EstoyProgramando]

The wallpaper convinced me, installing .. (jk) thanks!

[@mbenlahrech]

and now I need to sell my macbook ??

[@yp5387]

I was hesitating installing linux on my old laptop knowing it won’t be perfect until I play with thousands of settings. The one line command would set all of those things pretty easily. Thanks DHH.

[@RaichoNikolov]

Did you install this Linux on a Mac machine?

[@RaichoNikolov]

I've just searched both on Google and on KZbin and they do not know what is OMAKUB.

[@EdisonUSA]

i thought it was just a portmanteau -- like on the omakub main page, 2nd line.

[@Dalsy97]

This is so awesome. What will happen if I try to install it from WSL?

[@MIIIG]

Does DHH drop the macos?

[@AungBaw]

Thanks

[@TheRealDunkirk]

What neovim plugins are you using specifically for Rails development? All I see from the install script(s) is LazyVim.

[@37signals]

Nothing. It's just LazyVim. No LSP is configured. Out of the box is by far good enough for me. -- DHH

[@DouglasSantos-lw5sp]

Thays exactly what i looking for

[@malikamjad]

After last installation an issue came across and that was my keyboard's Caps Lock and Whole Num Pad lost working...

[@PankajDoharey]

Just use i3 window placement comes as default. Also it seems DHH discovered tmux inside "alacrity"

[@murillodaniel9208]

Interesting video, but I wonder why using Ubuntu of all Distros? For this video there is no necessary right distro, so I assume it's because Ubuntu is the biggest Distro of Linux?

[@mikhailmikheev8043]

what software does the window management at 5:45 with the overlay?

[@AngelGonzalez-gj2dv]

Tactile gnome extension

[@user-sr9fh9iw9q]

hola hermano saludos desde colombia uso manjaro linux desde hace mas de 1 año que uso linux eh usado ubuntu,fedora,arch y ahora manjaro

[@dimitrismistriotis_uk]

Debian: I am sure that other people might be asking the same or something similar most of the stuff I heard look similar to Debian with Gnome as default. Is this correct or am I missing something?

[@malikamjad]

Does the neovim installed with omakub, is included with LSPs? If it does which language does it support .. plz answer

[@MilanRegec]

I love the irony of this. "I don't want to use the mouse at all..." - then please make HEY more keyboard friendly (or dare I say accessible) for those who don't want to can't use the mouse. And believe me, there are other people in this world then just web developers, who don't use the mouse. Still, nice walk-through 🙏.

[@MilanRegec]

Or even make a TUI HEY client :-) I would love that so much!

[@linkarzu]

By the way, just created a video on how to view and paste images in neovim, in case someone needs to do that.

[@legatto]

I get a 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1' error upon install

[@luznyprzekaz2672]

Installed omakub but my ubuntu still looks the same. I see new tools installed but HUB is still the same :( what did I wrong? Cheers

[@malikamjad]

Is there any possible way to have it installed offline... Coz tried to install but stuck in between and due to this i had to reinstall ubuntu....

[@TTV5]

Oh my God, I've been away from Linux, on MacOS for well over a year because I got so tired of shoddy PC hardware, but I can't wait to go back. MacOS has so many weird and antiquated design choices, where I feel Apple has just been stuck in their ways and doubled-down on weird abstractions that no longer make sense. Finder is clunky and weird and views don't update, organising windows around on the screen is a chore (Magnet helps), switching between applications and various windows within applications seems like it's built for someone who just never does that. Here's a simple question: Why do you have installer files that just lie around after a program has been installed? Why the weird drag and dropping the program icon into the applications folder when you install something? Seems like something that would have seemed groundbreaking in 1998, but not now. No complaints about Mac hardware though. It's way better than any other laptop I've ever head (granted, way more expensive as well). Same for iPhone, really. Wish Apple would be split into pieces and continue as a hardware company.

[@jeremybyte]

What OMAKUB stands for?

[@monbec_sigrym]

It's a combination of Omakase and Ubuntu.

[@kishanbsh]

​@@monbec_sigrym What is omacase?

[@EightNineOne]

@@kishanbsh "What the chef has chosen for your meal" basically.

[@Marco-Vavassori]

I just know that in a year or two he'll go back to mac os.

[@TTV5]

Once you get used to Linux it is really tough to go back to Mac or Windows. So much unnecessary BS in both OS'es, Windows in particular. And so many antiquated design choices and things that get in your way on Mac.

[@SR-ti6jj]

When are you porting Hey to Nextjs? I want my modals to pop up instantly on 3G over a Chinese VPN

[@britneyfreek]

you don’t need nextjs for that.

[@MagikGimp]

What's the point? It's your setup, not anybody elses.

[@eyadsibai]

Consider using nixos

[@memiux]

He already did 20:58

[@tecnoPTY]

Too many short cuts to learn no way let's use the mouse I don't need to remember ALT+CMD+SHIFT+ D F E no way

[@lukeshaddick4105]

blehh ubuntu.. just go debian, fedora or nobara

[@shishiragrahari1855]

What the heck is this, too much bloat
