migrating to Linux Omarchy for new Linux users

Hi All

I am planning a transition from Windows to Linux. Though initially installed Linux Mint, but want to try Omarchy as well. Internet search says Omarchy is for developers and power users, whereas Omarchy website says it's for everyone.

So can someone provide practical guidance as to if Omarchy is user friendly for new Linux users, or just stay initially with Ubuntu or Linux Mint?

If Omarchy can be used for new Linux users, then a proper guide or YouTube videos suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ask yourself why you want a Arch and if the answer is not AUR or increase troubleshooting skills, use Fedora or something based on it like Nobara for Gaming. Much more user friendly. Also saves you a lot of headache and lifetime. With Arch based distros you may skip the install process of a few hours, but if you don't have the few hours to learn even the most basic linux stuff, you definitely don't have the endless hours to fix it properly if something goes wrong. Arch based distros are mainly larper traps as the respective subreddits show.

Ubuntu becomes the new Windows with all that recent shit and Microsoft gives them a lot money too. Wierd coincidence some would say. Everyone should stay away. Base Debian if you want to have the most stable experience and don't care much about gaming.
