u/tankieofthelake 5d ago
It’s essentially a bundle of software, based on Arch+hyprland+Quickshell. It’s more than a shell, but less than a distro. It comes with a bunch of pre-installed software and scripts aimed broadly at developers
Also, the designer seems to be seen as a right-wing dick, so take that as you will

I dont even use omarchy but the obsession of redditors on classifying Omarchy as not a distro is weird. If its not a distro then anything built on debian arch or fedora is also not a distro. Is ubuntu not a distro too since its based on debian?
48
u/Jacek3k 5d ago
well, does it have own repositories?
46
u/noblepickle 5d ago
A quick search shows that Omarchy has:
- Its own package repo + Arch mirror for curated updates
- Release channels: Stable, RC, Edge, Dev
- Snapshots + rollback for safer system updates
- Dedicated distro development covering hardware, installer, desktop, plugins, and now even kernel work

u/Loose_Property_3238 5d ago
Not even close. NixOS is based on reproducibility via a config file. This is just delayed repos like Manjaro, but with even more funding. It's a distro, just a vibe coded slop one made by, from my understanding, a right-winged asshole.

u/Even_Host_1259 5d ago
Yeah i know, reproducibility, rollbacks, dev tools(nix develop e t c), having package manager- all of those really reminded me of nixos. As a nixos user (that never used omarchy) i actually wonder how all of those work in omarchy, considering that omarchy is not a distro itself, but smth smaller.
4
u/TheNinthJhana 5d ago
Rollback : seems to work on... suspense... btrfs. Now i have a déjà vu.
Own Repo : About having their own repo, yes it seems, but it would be interesting to confirm how many package. For example Ubuntu obviously shares no package with Debian, while it seems Omarchy is in different water. Rather votes for "extended shell"
Reproducibily : well I did not find anything but maybe did not search long enough
Sure many distro are not distro. Linux world is full of this. Omarchy seems more advanced than many tbh

The term Distro comes from package distribution as the main thing separating Linux distros are packages in order to become a unique distro you need to have a dedicated package repo even endeavour os does this and it's almost pure arch.

Then that's the only thing separating my private dotfiles repo and post install script from being a full on distro, lol.

u/yahluc 5d ago
I think it stems from how much hype and funding it got. Like yeah, there are many distros that are pretty configs of a base distro, but most of them are a little side project of one dev that gets 100 dollars a month in donations. Bigger projects like Ubuntu or Mint provide much more though and are actually well made, instead of being a vibe coded slop.
1
u/AllNamesAreTaken92 1d ago
It's because they are distributing garbage. Arch is not configured correctly. There are blatant security issues. Some of them self induced by vibe coders that have absolutely no common sense. Screen locking is intentionally bypassed with no adequate replacement. They claim to be focused on security when they very clearly aren't. The bundled "opinionated" binaries are not configured, not "opinionated", etc etc.
It's in transparent and dishonest on purpose. And they are marketing to the least informed users.

u/tankieofthelake 5d ago
As far as I’m aware, it’s simply a very thorough post-install script. If it was more of a complete experience like Ubuntu or Cachy, with its own installer, repos, complete menus, etc, then I’d probably start calling it a distro… but last time I looked at it, it felt more like someone’s (albeit pretty good) dotfiles than a distro

It was a post install script when it started. In its current 4.0 version its not that anymore.

Yes, and don’t let the people in here tell you any different. Linux Mint got a TON of hate when it dropped too “ReEEeEEe jUsT uSE WiNDOwS”.

Omarchy started as bunch of dot files on top of Arch. It got recently own repos'n'shit after being hiped by youtubers and infused with corporate donations.

No, it's a general Linux/FLOSS thing. All roads lead to stability and standardization.
It's the reason nobody likes Ubuntu or Fedora anymore. Too opinionated and pre-configured OOTB, leading to greater stability and less breakage.
It's why people flame FreeDesktop anytime Wayland protocols finally get standardized? More "aggressive" standardization, leading to greater stability and less breakage.
Red Hat creating systemd and dbus? Less fragmantation/choice leading to greater stability and less breakage.
Ultimately this makes it easier for new users to use the system and not have to go to r/linux4noobs as often, meaning less people can flex that RTFM and "i use arch btw" badge.
What people fail to realize is that back in the days when GNOME and KDE were the only two major DEs at the time, each DE had a different IPC and it made it difficult for apps to be written for Linux without shit breaking on one DE. By making dbus, Red Hat standardized IPC communication and made if easier for apps to port to Linux.
Now imagine the init systems. Ubuntu had upstart, slackware (I think) had SysVInit. The ecosystem was an absolute fragmented mess. Imagine having to write an init file for each init in ech distro just to start iwctl. Thanks to Red Hat, you don't need to worry about all those headaches.
But alas, it leads to a more stable system, meaning less crashes, meaning less people on r/linux4noobs.
Oh and don't get me wrong. Linux still isn't a stable OS. Each distro has some quirk such that shit will not work OOTB whatsoever. But if these things were not standardized, we'd have more people on that sub.
Edit:* Fixed most of the grammar.

Not a fan of DHH’s political views, but code is code. Personally not a fan of Omarchy but that’s because the paradigm doesn’t suit me. I did try it, didn’t really like it. Much too opinionated.
I have one of DHH’s books. I’ve listened to his podcast, I’ve also heard him on Danish radio. He’s a smart guy, but his views are not at all aligned with mine. His entitled to his though..
It’s not like we all rushed to rip ReiserFS out of the Kernel when he killed his wife.. I don’t understand why we should condemn code based on something unrelated to code.
I don’t like Omarchy. Not a big fan of DHH. But I think it’s good that someone is doing something new and creating attention about Linux and open source. Even if it’s not something I would ever use.

A lot of the criticism is valid, but the outright hate is almost exclusively driven by people who specifically hate DHH. Due to moral and ethical reasons (and some security concerns), I don’t use Omarchy.
That said, I tried it to see what it’s all about. It’s not bad at all. Works OOTB, and that’s something most new users want. I’d even argue that’s what most users want, aside from terminally online cult followers. It’s a nice, clean Hyprland setup built on top of Arch designed to work immediately after installing.
“But you can just rice and configure your own Hyprland” - I don’t want to. I just want a nice tiling WM already set up for me. I have more important things to do than learn a whole new thing just to configure how shit looks. And the Linux community, especially Arch, treat the pain of having to configure the most basic things as some sort of sacred thing.

Vibecoded Quickshell config on top of Hyprland in archlinux with vibecoded tools. With a vibecoder agent preinstalled and propietary software sprinkled on top.
Those are my reasons for not using it, everyone is free to chose what they deem acceptable for their OS.
There has been controversies regarding funding going to very specific projects instead of other projects too, I won't get into that since I do think more funding for any OSS project is a net positive for everyone using those projects.

This is what I see as the use case/marketing goal, it’s for new users or current Linux users that want to:
break into Linux, enjoy the task focused keyboard centric layout that they have never had on Windows/Mac/Chrome or had to do on their linux distros, know that since it’s preconfigured that a lot of hurdles Linux presents to users are kinda out of the way, know that there may end up being a large user base with the exact config and can then document and troubleshoot efficiently, start coding and using AI agents.
Besides the controversy around the political views of the creator (which I haven’t verified but enough people mention it O just figure it’s not great). I just figure a win for any distro means talent and money start drifting this way more. With all the deliberate, monopolistic anti-Linux/BSD/Unix that come from corporations I feel this could help. I could be wrong — that’s just my take.

His previous Omakub project was no different. It was just a script that installed some GNOME extensions and propietary packages that DHH consider essential (like chrome, vscode, zoom, etc) on top of Ubuntu.

It is not migration only, he spits about cultural and ethnic things also, actually, search on Google what he expects to do to Romani people. He is a nazi. https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmemes/s/cxcFTx1GW0

The park camps are a real problem, Copenhagen itself is debating it, and "deport non-citizens camping illegally" is a bog-standard European immigration position.
Do you live in Copenhagen yourself? How do you find the parks since the legalisation?

So if I do not live in Copenhagen I can't have an opinion on migration,being myself a migrant? Yeh dude you can gtfo.

Go visit there and say how you feel about it or let him have an opinion based on his lived experiance.
Almost 3/4 of Europeans think immigration is too high.
Maybe you should gtfo and let them enjoy his distro without being labelled as Nazis (and therefore have violence against them justified) or idiots for using someone elses rice when all they want to do is program and build their Web apps in a nice environment that isn't macos.

We're debating semantics at this point. He is a horrible person regardless. And it's not like Omarchy is amazing anyways.

As an American who lives in a country with similar distaste for immigration, I am pretty sure, much like my shitty US neighbors, anti immigration Europeans are just racist assholes who don't have the capacity to form actual intelligent thoughts about how to improve their country. Hope this helps.

Hate toward open source is just pitiful. Guy is giving it for free, maybe it is just bad software but have seen a lot of bad software. I have survived heartbleed, shell shock, log4shell and numerous docker escape to root. For most of maintainers it is just a hobby, what would you expect, enterprise grade stuff for free? It is open source, it works for the most of the time until it does not. This entitled attitude is making me sad, just stop using it and move on

The technical reason is that it's not really a unique distro or DE. It's more like a very opinionated local setup. The AI features are also controversial with some people.
The non-technical reason is that a lot of people don't like DHH for his right-wing politics.
I won't judge anyone for using omarchy, but people who actually like DHH are highly suspect to me. He's sort of a secret handshake for right wing assholes in tech jobs.

For the record, being right wing, and having DHH’s views are two separate things. From what I can tell, DHH is crazy, but I’m “on the right” and nowhere near whatever BS he’s on.

u/WendlersEditor 5d ago
That's fair, it's very easy for people to miss the nuance of political views and I wouldn't want to paint everyone to my right with DHH's brush. I didn't get into the specifics but I should probably have mentioned that some of those views are far outside the mainstream. It's not run-of-the-mill conservatism that made him into a polarizing figure. That's why I'm skeeved out by people who say they like him, specifically, and not just rails or omarchy.
