Omarchy is an omakase distribution based on Arch Linux and the tiling window manager Hyprland. It’s a complete system designed with both aesthetics and productivity in mind.
It ships with just about everything a modern software developer needs to be productive immediately. That’s everything from Neovim (btw) to Spotify, Chromium to Typora, and Alacritty to LibreOffice.
Omarchy isn’t like Windows and it’s not like macOS either. It’s not trying to be as familiar as possible. It’s trying to be beautiful and better. Embrace the Linux-ness of it all. Manually editing some config files, sure. Heavy on the terminal, definitely. Omarchy comes with eleven beautiful themes.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
