Why I traded my custom "Opinionated Linux" for Omarchy
Omarchy is an opinionated Arch distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), creator of Rails, Basecamp and Hey. Under the hood it's Arch Linux + Hyprland, but it ships with everything pre-configured: lock screen, menu bar, bluetooth, themes, keybindings. No installing packages one by one.

Spinel: Ruby AOT Native Compiler
Why do you say HashWithIndifferentAccess shows a lack of understanding? Like many Rails features, it's a convenience that abstracts away details that some find unpleasant to work with. Rails sometimes takes "magic" to the extreme through meta-programming. However, looking at the source [1], HashWithIndifferentAccess doesn't use eval, send, method_missing, or define_method. So I'm not sure how it seems weird to someone who works more with plain Ruby.

Don't create .gitkeep files, use .gitignore instead
This Rails commit from May 2010 mentions gitkeeps and it's a few months older than your SO post, so it seems you're absolved from guilt:
