I've been trying Grok 4.6 (High) alongside Claude Opus 5 (High). Grok is capable, but disappointing compared to Opus. My experience with Grok has also made me a little skeptical of benchmarks, because the two models benchmark similarly but it (subjectively) feels like there is quite a big capability gap between the two.
It would be interesting to see a decentralised, residential collective that builds and publishes an index. There are surely enough interested people on HN alone that would be willing to run software at home to scrape a small slice of the internet.
You could generate tests that give you 100% line coverage but the real test is if the thousands of subscribing players have the same experience which doesn't have the same agent friendly testing feedback loop

the man shat out a collection of half working shell scripts and bad synthwave background images and every wannabe VC bro felt like a haxxor installing it.
Fucking hell, even Hannah Montana Linux is of higher quality than Omarchy, the bar is low.
It was (pretty much) just dot files and curated software, although I think that description downplays the value of having a perfectly tuned system out of the box - like saying a log cabin is just a bunch of sticks. The assembly matters and the end result is something greater than the sum of its parts.
That aside, the latest release (Quattro) has also added a bunch of bespoke software (technically quickshell configuration, if you don't want to call it software) which has added a new layer of polish. For my taste it has been a real joy to use and a lot of fun to explore and play around with. Could be worth checking out if you haven't looked in a while!
Not a user, but from what I gather it does stuff like synchronize themes of ALL applications across the OS.
So when you change the "omarchy" theme to something, every single application installed uses the same theme. They even paid money to get proper theming support added to software so they could do this.
