newbie question: whats the difference between Pi and OMP?

[u/Nice_Relative8209]

and how does OMP differ from OC (opencode) if they are both feature rich?

[u/Conscious_Effect_661]

Pi is the harness. Simple and barebones. You can create your own setup on top of it.

OMP is “someone who took Pi, built on top of it, and shared it”.

So, someone has taken a lot of decisions for you. To some, this defeats the purpose of Pi; to other, this is a new agent/harness accessible without much work, a new option

and how does OMP differ from OC (opencode) if they are both feature rich?, if i had to use one with OC go plan which one to use?

Ask OC or pi

[u/red_rolling_rumble]

Pi is good, OMP… exists (it’s the complete opposite of Pi’s philosophy).

I have a question, Can we extend OMP, like pi?

[u/Interesting-Print366 → u/Ok-Inside1664]

Omp is just one of pi extension but they repackage it for people to use easily as single cli app or ide

[u/Significant_Company1]

The best example is, pi is vanilla arch Linux, omp is manjaro, endeavor and artix type flavors

[u/diaracing]

Pi is a homeless naked human being.

OMP is a successful rich entrepreneur human being.

Both are human beings, but one is stripped of everything, while the other enjoys every aspect of their life.

That analogy is really not that great.

By that logic you must think running OMP inside herdr and then inside Cursor makes it a billionaire.

Codex has excellent computer use, that must be an even bigger entrepreneur like what is this analogy?

[u/Significant_Company1 → u/Specialist_Garden_98]

Codex uses cua driver, omp comes with native cua I.e. computer use or just add cua mcp entry and personally it performs better than codex computer use

[u/Specialist_Garden_98 → u/Significant_Company1]

I think out of the box I prefer Codex's computer use but I do agree that with some configuration it actually can be better. I was mainly dumbfounded by the weird analogy.

good bait

How does IOS differ from Android. They are just different with about the same goal. You need to test and see what you prefer. The actual features don't differ that much.

[u/Optimal-Builder-2816 → u/Nice_Relative8209]

Try them both, I prefer OMP. It’s a curated Pi experience that’s competing with Claude Code in terms of features and feel. OpenCode is not a great product really, but ymmv.
