Switching to Omarchy #3984

I've been using macOS my whole life, but now I see something interesting with Omarchy. What do you guys think about it? Would it be a good decision to switch? |

From what I’ve read, Omarchy is an Arch-based Linux distro focused on developer productivity, with a keyboard-driven workflow and tiling window manager (Hyprland). People like it because it’s fast, minimal, and opinionated, especially if you live in the terminal and enjoy customizing your system. It’s basically built for power users who want full control and don’t mind tinkering That said, coming from macOS, the jump can be pretty big. Omarchy doesn’t aim for the same “it just works” polish that macOS has. Updates can occasionally break things, hardware support (especially on Macs) can be hit-or-miss, and you’re expected to be comfortable debugging Linux issues yourself. A few reviewers even mention that it’s not beginner-friendly compared to something like Ubuntu or Fedora So personally, I wouldn’t recommend fully switching right away. A safer move might be: Try Omarchy in a VM or on a spare machine |
