Make APIs that fail gracefully rather that fallback silently
The article argues that APIs should fail explicitly instead of silently falling back, illustrating how vk‑bootstrap’s hidden format swap caused cross‑platform rendering bugs.

I have never tried Omarchy so far but there are a few reasons why I think what DHH is trying to do with Linux on the Desktop could be significant. There is the right mix of AI help with many boring and costly tasks (drivers for instance), MacOS dropping in quality, and the fact the only reason why Linux never succeeded in the Desktop is that UX requires an opinionated development path from some entity able to also fuel it, not the distributions setup Linux historically had. For all this reasons, a few starts aligned, so this could be the right time. Also ROCm / Vulkan / CUDA GPU hardware options are evolving, and could end creating a compelling alternative to Apple hardware for local inference: but this is also the major risk, if Apple wins the local inference hardware battle, MacOS could become a forced choice for many.
