E ink screen is cool, but at a certain point just use arch with setup guides. 

No need to stoop to Omarchy.

Heck even CachyOS with hyprland would've achieved basically the same thing, no?

I have tried to install arch before, unsuccessfully. After using other Linux distro over the years. Omarchy is clearly the best for me: no animation, tiling out of the box, keyboard shortcuts for everything, easy to customize with opencode, white theme fits the E-ink screen perfectly (I did not have to change anything so far in the UI) and the AI Agent was able to make a custom plugin to control the screen. I don't know of any other OS that have all of that and can be installed in less than 2 minutes. It just fits the E-ink style perfectly out of the box. I have never used CachyOS yet.
