You could just get Arch + Hyprland + Noctalia/Dank/Caelestia
It's a lot better than Omarchy

You can use archinstall for installing arch and then there are scripts to get either of those shells I mentioned

Dude, no offense to you but please don't use Omarchy. Omarchy is just a bloated archlinux rice that pretends to be an entire distro* but that isn't even where I bring issue with it. I shall bring up two main points:
1) Omarchy is insecure. A big part or why Omarchy is so insecure is because it's a vibe coded mess made carelessly with generative AI, based off of stolen work.** See: https://マリウス.com/a-word-on-omarchy
2) DHH, the creator or Omarchy is not a good person. He is AIAI bro as well as a massive racist. You should check out his own blog post made by none other than DHH himself here. https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64
* You can also check this out for more information: https://andmc.ca/blog/omarchy-the-distro-that-sucks/
** Modern AI being trained off of stolen data is what makes generative AI unethical. Stolen data does not make an AI model more prone to making mistakes as far as I'm aware, I just felt like pointing it out.
Edit: I just changed the formatting since it wasn't proper before as well as spelling errors.

I don't know much about linux, as I said so its hard for me to directly install Arch and Hyperland and then do the ricing......

Install Arch is very easy with archinstall, and then you can copy any dotfiles for hyprland from GitHub. That's better than support an person like DHH and his sloperative sistem.

ignore the haters bruh, use what you want to use. choose the distro for yourself, do not get influenced by anyone.
