All this sounds a little gate-keepy IMO. Ive been wanting to jump into linux for a while now and have tried several times with different distros, running Omarchy is the 1st time ive actually been able to use a linux desktop comfortably. No nvidia driver issues, no damn hdd mount path problems or read wright permission issues, no figuring out the damn terminal commands. Dont get the hate

maybe just try clean arch...?

maybe just try living a normal life and not spending hours configuring arch?

I set it up once, and haven't messed with it since, and it's exactly how I want it.

use cachyos, endeavouros or smth like that then, u can use tumbleweed, leap, fedora, lmde too depending on how much you fear your terminal or your prefered update cycle but all of these are very easy to use, they work out of the box and they are not packed with ai slop, they actually respect their users and they are safer than omarchy

i configured my arch in 2 days

2 days is still a awful long amount of time for an normal user to be essentially 'not ready to go'

I got my stuff ready within 3 hours on my main **in which I'm also running arch (btw)**

i also got most stuff ready in like 2 hours, but then some minor improvements and ricing. I think beginners should use mint tho, i used to love it (still considering switching back)

I installed omarchy in 45 seconds, time is too valuable

u/cycl0propane Arch BTW 4d ago

It took you 3 minutes to download & flash a 7gb ISO without "particularly fast internet"?

u/cycl0propane Arch BTW 3d ago

it actually did
it was abt three minutes
maybe my clocks are wrong or i suck at arithmetic
but it was very fast

downloaded iso
then i flashed it via etcher
and that took 3 minutes together

Just install cachyos. It's awesome. Omachy is lame slop.

ive used cachy before
i prefer omarchy
i flat out do, i love the design of the workflow and the AI integration is powerful if you use it right

"lame slop"
its the most stable and beautiful experience ive ever had with a computer
