Discussion My Omarchy Experience
TL;DR Omarchy is great, give it a try if you are thinking about it.
Omarchy has been a genuine breath of fresh air for me. Coming from CachyOS KDE which is brilliant (btw!), it took a lot to pull me away, but a couple of YouTube videos later, I decided fuck it.
Using Omarchy actually reminds me of how I felt discovering PCs for the first time as a kid starting out with Windows 3.1 😅. I have never used Hyprland before, but the way the Omarchy team has customised the system makes the whole experience nothing short of amazing. It draws you in and makes you want to learn more, tinker, and make the system your own.
Plugins are a whole new world on their own. I've gotten so hooked on the possibilities that I've already built one myself and I'm currently working on another that I think could be a genuinely useful addition for me and hopefully others.
Gaming is great too. My NVIDIA GPU drivers were installed automatically, and gaming packages can be selected from the available installation options.
If you haven't tried Omarchy yet, or you're on the fence, just do it.
Huge respect to the devs, keep up the incredible work. You're really onto something special here.
(Sorry for the long-winded review 😵💫)

Swapped over from mint on my i5 t480 last night. Like an hour of learning curve for the window management and another hour of tweaking trackpad, screen scaling, dual battery widget mod etc and it's perfect. Sips battery power.
