Omarchy

Beautiful, Modern & Opinionated Linux by DHH
omarchy.org omarchy.org

Switched my gaming machine to use this. First time arch linux experience for me, but was very easy to install. The theming support is actually pretty cool. I. have a Fallout pip boy based theme on atm.

There are examples of what it looks like in RL here:

Different is not better. Give me the basic navigation a 90 year old can navigate so I dont have to think about it and can enjoy whatever the reason was I switched on the computer.

I have had no problems so far.

Because it doesn't have Window Bloat, I have anecdotal evidence that the games actually run a bit better.

I am going to give Omarchy a test run on an entry-level laptop, and then install Winboat to see how well it handles a containerized Windows. I know there are other vm solutions, but I want to test it with native Windows apps.

I think he is right on it. Windows Apps were not made to work nicely with a tiling window manager.

Hmmm, it has its use case, but Omarchy will also use Docker (sorry, Dockur). WinBoat is also still in its early stages, so it will evolve with user and dev input.

The Linux dev environment though is in anarchy. I didn't use to be like this. I am all good with Omarchy being a disrupter, though I still find CachyOS as the better distro, just from a performance point of view. For the server side of things I am happy with Ubuntu LTS.

Some of these devs though, they need to grow up. This is a form of diversity that leads to defragmenting a common cause.

For now I will wait for Omarchy 3.1 before exploring it.
