DHH: I Raised $20M and Have No Idea How to Spend It!

September 23, 2026
Mischa van den Burg sits down with DHH about Omarchy (Omachi): why he left the Mac mindset, the agentic OS bet, the $20M raise, security as priority one, AUR vs their own packages, and Omarchy for kids.
Useful if you follow Linux desktop, Rails/Basecamp culture, or how agents change what a distro can ship.
Key Points
- Why Omarchy / the perfect-computer mission
- Agents + Linux CLI as an Agentic OS unlock
- Security team, responsible disclosure, AUR stance
- $20M raise and building escape velocity
- Omarchy for kids: no sudo, whitelist, parents first
