Welcome to Omarchy!

Omarchy is an omakase Linux distribution based on Arch, the tiling window manager Hyprland, and the desktop construction-kit Quickshell. It ships with everything a modern, savvy computer user needs to be productive immediately. From Neovim (btw) to Chromium, Obsidian to LibreOffice, and Kdenlive to OBS Studio. Hell, even a retro Winamp-style music player is there!

This isn't just a grab bag of preinstalled packages, though. It's a complete system designed with both aesthetics and productivity in mind. Because a system is a system, and productivity has always been downstream from motivation. There's zero bloat here: Just everything I use.

It's true that developing an eye for the beauty of a TUI-heavy, theme-delighted, tiling-window-managed system like Omarchy can be an acquired taste. But that's why you're here, isn't it? To experience something a little outside of your comfort zone? To embark on a little bit of an adventure into a new way of working with computers? I hope so.

Omarchy isn't like Windows and it's not like macOS either. It's not trying to be as familiar as possible. It's trying to be beautiful and . Embrace the Linux-ness of it all. Manually editing some config files, sure. Heavy on the terminal, definitely.

Let's get started with the basics.
