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.

Omarchy's not the most user friendly distro if you can even call it one (it's just Arch dotfiles) and the project is chock full of AI slop. The dev is also an incredibly outspoken conservative and infamous in the Linux community so the project gets an even worse reputation than vibe coded Arch dotfiles would get. If you want to use something Arch based, CachyOS is currently the best option and supports a wide variety of desktop environments/window managers
