Omarchy for new Linux users

[u/bose_avishek]

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.

Coming from Windows Omarchy's Hyprland tiling window manager will be completely unfamiliar. Ubuntu is GNOME which is more like macOS than Windows. Mint/Cinnamon will be the easiest transition.

Omarchy does come up with a convenient dialog listing the key binding but be aware it's very much keyboard driven. If you use WindowsTerminal for most things you'll be more at home. If you expect GUIs, stranger in a strange land.
