Awesome to see Omarchy getting more visibility! Fireship’s vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers is huge!
I don’t use this distro myself, but I still cheer for anything that helps motivate Windows users to make the switch.

Don’t promote fascist bullshit: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html.
Opinion: Having some highly opinionated, highly polished distros is an excellent gateway for people to jump aboard. Not everything will be how you want it, sure. But that’s how things are on Windows & MacOS right now.
Immutable distros also help here, preventing goombas like myself from bricking my OS, getting fed up and going back to MS.
Once you learn the basics with guard rails, you can branch out and fix the issues you really care about.
Exactly. I don’t use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.
Omarchy is also backed by Cloudflare.
I’m running arch with kde on my main pc. Now omarchy on my laptop. Showed it at work and got 1 colleague thats running omarchy now on his laptop and he likes it.
I think its nice to have everything working and not setup hyprland from scratch, just thinker with what is there for beginners.
