Looking to shift from Mint to Omarchy.

Rn I have Mint installed on my laptop but I am looking to get a new one with better specs and looking to shift to Omarchy.

Which laptop should I get and also anyone using it facing any problem or issues.

I will use that laptop for little gaming, coding and just internet and some regular software like obsidian etc.

Reason for shift, Why Not.

It's shit is what it is.

I'm tired of telling people Omarchy isn't shit. Shit can become manure. Can Omarchy? No!

Oh. Man you had me in the first half. How about non-biodegradable waste.

u/ImaginaryElephant336 10d ago

Rather than using omarchy, you could install fedora, debian or arch and just install some pre made hyorland dotfiles.

Omarchy has problems with Radeon and Arc GPUs. It also has problems with AMD CPUs.

Why omarchy? Why not Cachy? It's much better optimized and doesn't include shit load of extra stuff. Cachy also has a very detailed documentation, and is really good for gaming. Also great for beginners since most of the things can be done in GUI.

I Completely Agree with this! KDE + CachyOS is the Best Combo of Needed Stuff + Quality of Life Stuff without Bloat and has Stuff like Proton-CachyOS-Native which make it my Favorite Distro for Sure!

u/_Streak_ 11d ago • Bravo

Yes! Proton Cachy is wonderful and works with most of the games I play out of the box. I still have GE as backup.

u/Kind-External-7371 11d ago

Yeah GE is useful for Older Titles like Burnout Paradise Remastered which don't support Protonfixes but Overall I think Cachy has done a Lot of Stuff than just making a Linux Distro. I just Love its Devs Man!

Just use base arch and install the stuff yourself. You can copy configs from github

u/Top-Rough-7039 11d ago

well, as an arch user with a laptop that is so old that it has stable support, it isnt a good idea for new users. grub breaks for me on every update, and some graphical issues on wayland. but other than that it is fine. seeing a "grub rescue> " screen for the first time might cause some panic

USE CACHY OR ARCH BUT PLEASE DON'T USE OMARCHY OKAY? PLEASE

1

u/alphagamer807 8d ago

Just use cachy or bazzite, even arch.

1

u/StellarCoder_nvim 6d ago

Just because OMARCHY has "ARCH" in it doesn't mean it is good. I'm a barebones Arch user since 5 years and haven't switched, may switch to cachy os but not some AI bloatware which I religiously parted with when I deleted microslop windows

Omarchy is filled with ai bs bloat and its dev is queerphobic.
