I think nowadays using quickshell anyone who is so inclined can vibecode their own UI though. I recently made the switch to Wayland/hyprland and rebuilt my polybar on quickshell, even adding widgets that allow getting system info/fine grained system control (interactive Bluetooth, WiFi, Volume, Brightness etc).
But in all seriousness, I am running omarchy now, and I will almost definitely be switching to arch at some point in the future.
I've been using arch for over 10 years btw.
To be at risk, you'd first need to publish your application. The attacker would separately have to figure out how to identify and access your computer for attack.
What?
Its perfectly possible to master two things. Video production isnt _that_ hard. Especially as lighting, shooting adding graphics and editing film is much much easier than 10 years ago.
or did you think onlyfans?
100%! When the US attacked Iran, they became experts on wars; when Iran closed the strait, they turned experts on foreign policy, diplomacy, and negotiation; they were doctors during COVID; now they are SME in flooding and disaster control after the Nepal incident.

You only get 6 months of updates, at which point everything break subtly, or not if you use nvidia.
ubuntu with a custom GUI is the way forward, at least compared to fedora.
And on the server side of things, I ran a Fedora CoreOS VM with a Pihole container that silently and successfully auto-updated both the OS and the service container for years with no intervention on my part.
Or you could use one of the Universal Blue spins. Bluefin and Aurora have non-free stuff built in and you can install pretty much any package from anywhere.
UI is crucial. If people want something easy to use out of the box without spending days to configuring it
I'm required to use Ubuntu at work. Coming from Mac, apart from the menu bar at the top, on Gnome, I've been able to customize the keyboard shortcuts, remap the keyboard so that Ctrl works like Cmd, and use extensions like Dash to Dock[1] and themes like Whitesur[2] to replicate something that almost works like a Mac.
The keyboard remapping and customizing keyboard shortcuts were all done within default the default settings app.
The only things missing are some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+A/V to move to the beginning and end, and the Ctrl+Shift+C/V behavior on the terminal instead of Cmd+C, which I've just worked around by using VSCode's terminal and configuring it to copy when I press Ctrl+C with some text selected.

The fact that you think this is acceptable shows that you don't appreciate the difference. Again, I haven't used Omarchy but the docs claim that Super + C and Super + V work everywhere, not with all the different exceptions you mention.
Also the only reason I left Linux was due to hardware. Ubuntu was convenient enough.
Homebrew should not be allowed near any machine you need to be able to trust.
And I'm guessing you go to https://www.britannica.com/ when you want to learn something about a new topic, right?
But that trust model does not work with software.
It is negligent that MacOS users, even those with prod access, all let any anon randos that sign up to be Homebrew maintainers execute any code they want on their computers with no accountability. By the time someone figures that out and corrects it, the damage is done.
What is worse, is almost zero MacOS users I talk to are aware of this risk. Even security engineers. Many say "no worse than NPM" as if that is a defense.
Just don't.
There's nothing interesting to discuss. Rootless OCI-compliant containers exist, and Omarchy ignored them. The "convenience" of the solution they chose simultaneously opens an enormous attack surface that the maintainers didn't consider.
This is why I don't believe the "give me a macOS distro" people - even Apple wouldn't do this. If you want a preconfigured Mac-like distro, then you should use GNOME and not a pre-riced desktop with hundreds of dotfiles. You don't have to use Arch either, you can go with a graphical install of Fedora or CachyOS if you want. This will give you a system that you can understand, maintained by people with a minimum standard of quality, that actually resembles the workflow of macOS. There is no Niri or Sway rice that will magically make your system make sense, and this is why I think a lot of the Mac and Windows expats should just use a normal desktop.
Why Omarchy chose to ignore all the rootless OCI-compliant containers; and also why docker itself isn't rootless yet is a pretty interesting thing to discuss. I'm not aware of the specifics being a Mac user myself, but others in the thread (e.g. here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49500186) say that podman still doesn't work 1:1 with docker exactly.
If you disagree, that's a reasonable thing to discuss; but otherwise just saying "ha ha just use the rootless thing" is missing the point.
There's absolutely meat on the bones regarding root/rootlessness, but that's not the problem at-hand. The problem is shipping vulnerable defaults, and the case is closed.
It's probably already documented on Arch wiki or it's a generic Linux issue that has already been solved by someone (that has been my experience with Cachy).
