Welcome to Omarchy! #

Omarchy is an omakase remix of Arch Linux using the tiling window manager Hyprland. It ships with just about everything a modern software developer needs to be productive immediately. That's everything from Neovim (btw) to Spotify, Chromium to Typora, and Alacritty to LibreOffice. Hell, even Zoom 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 beautiful system provides a motivating environment. And productivity has always been downstream from motivation.

Developing an eye for the beauty of a TUI-heavy, theme-delighted, tiling-window-managed system like Omarchy, however, can be an acquired taste. So before installing Omarchy, you might want to consider Omakub. It's based on a more conventional desktop environment and built on top of Ubuntu — the most popular Linux distribution. It's probably a better fit for someone brand new to Linux.

But if, say, editing config files to change monitor settings or controlling everything with the keyboard doesn't intimidate you, let's proceed with the basics.
