David Heinemeier Hansson welcomed Namespace to the Omacom Foundation as a Distinguished Corporate Patron, contributing $100,000 a year in compute for three years that the foundation is putting directly into ARM builds and quality assurance for Omarchy. Hansson explains that Omarchy grew up on x86 and its testing was built around it, but ARM is arriving quickly through Omarchy M for Apple Silicon, Omarchy Dragon for Snapdragon laptops and Alibaba’s Qwen Book, and that verifying an installer on cloud ARM machines usually requires running a virtual machine. Namespace runs Linux on Apple Silicon, where the same ARM image boots in about four seconds instead of the three-plus minutes needed when emulating the processor, and it already runs builds for Zed, DuckDB and mise, which the foundation also sponsors.
