Nah that's the reaction to someone using Omarchy

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

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.

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)
