Basti 1 Episodes Oct 14, 2026

This podcast presents stories from the Omarchy Linux community, an opinionated distribution inspired by DHH. Each episode is a field report from users, developers, and tinkerers who have customized or fixed their systems, sharing what they escaped, changed, and learned. The show emphasizes community-driven problem-solving and the idea that fixes come from the community, not from waiting for approval from tech giants.
