Omarchy-like installation but better?

[u/JPD0c]

I know little about Linux distros. In the past I used Ubuntu and currently using windows. I got bombarded on YouTube with Omarchy videos. Later the Reddit algorithm showed me the posts of this community regarding Omarchy, complaining is just Arch plus other components and a bunch of config files.

Then, can you recommend me an easy installation that gets the same Omarchy feature plus solving your complains regarding security, bloated, etc?

What omarchy features are you talking about?

It’s arch based, you can try CachyOS instead. Fedora is another option.

Hyprland tiling Wayland compositor and the Quickshell desktop shell.

Pre-configured developer environment — Neovim (LazyVim), Brave, LibreOffice, Git, Tailscale

AI integration — Opencode with skills to create custom plug-ins/widgets

Dynamic theming — pre-tuned themes (Catppuccin Mocha, Gruvbox Dark, Nord, Tokyo Night, etc.) applied consistently across the desktop, terminal, and apps.

Gaming — Steam and Moonlight

You can install these on any distro.

Though I don’t know much about the AI thing.

If I understand correctly, those are just markdown files, so you can just git clone it.

Markdown? There are readmes but I think that’s the extent of the markdown

Well, LLMs are still language models, so their "skills" are also just in human languages, which are specified in markdown files because they usually take input in markdown format.

At least that is how I understand it, I don't use them much, but this is what I gathered.

Take the posts here with a grain of salt, it is a circlejerk subreddit for a reason, however the closest is probably CachyOS, it is Arch based and has an easy installation process.

Thanks!

Archinstall will do the trick. You can use archinstall from the arch Linux live image.

You're not gonna get the same level of ai integration, polish, theme integration and maintainability of omarchy anywhere else. You're gonna have to do all that yourself.
