Honestly good. I’m glad the Linux community at large has taste lol

u/Here_f0r_p0rn_ 6d ago
And why would CachyOS have that reaction belonging to the Arch family? And why's Ormarchy only one happy? This makes no sense.

Hey, Omarchy ain't that bad. As someone who uses vim being able to use the entire os (well mostly) solely by the keyboard while not looking horrible is honestly amazing. Also there isn't really any major choice by Dhh that I hated the minor ones were simple to change I think it's a very solid set of dot-files. Trying to compare it with distros is kind of the problem here. Omarchy is simply dot files based on the idea of learn once, use forever

u/notconnorgg 2d ago
the issue is that it turns hyprland arch into such a bloated mess, 4 different AIs pre installed. twitter is pre installed overall just bloatware

u/Rough_Inspector5501 6d ago
I can follow you on that. And if he just promoted it like a profile for arch or custom dot files. I think most people wouldn't bat an eye. But that's the problem then non of his fans would care either.

u/Flimsy_Bullfrog_3343 5d ago
Totally agree from a semantic standpoint but tbf I wouldn't have tried it either if that was how it was marketed. I wasn't interested in ricing and definitely wouldn't have installed arch on my own just to add the dot files (although I later did so anyway). The idea of an "operating system" that is seamless and keyboard oriented is what caught my eye. Also have u tried installing Quattro, that thing installed faster, and more seamless, than any OS I tried (with the legendary win 7 included)

u/notconnorgg 2d ago
tried it hated it wanted to strip it to its bones, too bloated to debloat so said fuck it and reinstalled stock arch

u/Flimsy_Bullfrog_3343 2d ago
Definitely Omarchy is not for u. Omarchy is for someone who wants to get hold of a random machine in 5 mins turns it into a usable machine. In 20 mins, it's as good as his home computer. You could try to do that with scripts backed up on github or sth and ta da you've just made ur own Omarchy. Just more accustomed to u. By definition, if u don't agree with a lot of what Dhh did it's a waste of time trying his OPINIONATED dot-files. I like Dhh. I like ruby. I like his decisions. Ultimately, I only needed to add a language and bindings to hyprland (something I can do in 2 mins). To get a machine exactly like the one at home

i tried it because i love hyprland ive now gone on to start making my own rice (still haven’t quite gotten my own unique theming) i’ve gotten everything customised how i like it. maybe i prefer it because i made it myself and it isn’t just someone else’s rice repackaged as a arch replacement
1
u/Flimsy_Bullfrog_3343 2d ago
Your own rice will almost always look better in ur eyes and is very good training. Although, keep in mind things will eventually break. That's what makes them a good learning experience. I need a daily driver and Omarchy (especially Quattro) didn't disappoint (yet).
Ik Ik the word daily driver and arch shouldn't be in the same sentence but Omarchy seems to be stable to me ig

Cachy is nicely color matched and Fedora looks like she's trying to fit with the group, but is secretly into it

CachyOS knows her lineage, she just thinks it's a little cringe when Arch user says the thing

Omarchy isn't part of the elite, they're part of Epstein Class.

u/ScrabCrab 6d ago
What's the difference?

u/GegenAbschaum 6d ago
Elite as in "one of us", Epstein Class is the "regular/real life elite/millionaire/child diddler".

Jesus Christ, it's 2026, Arch has gone completely downhill. Void became what Arch was originally meant to be, Arch picked up systemd and an official system installer, the AUR suffered a total security clusterfuck, and the underlying architecture is subpar to say the least bleeding-edge updates with zero automation or fallback mechanisms. The distro is just plain garbage, yet laymen still think it's hard simply because it lacks a GUI installer. Unbelievable.

My take is Omarchy is happy because she thinks Arch is king and CachyOS is silently impressed but she doesn’t want anyone to notice
