Hyprland + Arch have never been so easy. Everything comes preconfigured, preinstalled, and with six beautiful themes in the box. This is the smoothest, most pleasant operating system I've ever had under my fingers.DHH on X — "Huge kudos to @vaxryy for making Hyprland! I've been so impressed with his creation that I've committed to a €1,000/month support level for at least a year as a token of my appreciation. Consider chipping in if you end up digging it too.Good Linux Hardware · The Omarchy Manual · DHHDHH on X — "Next step for Omarchy is clearly to level up to become a full distro.

It's been a while back since I've last used Linux as a daily driver. But Omarchy is a breeze - snappy, intuitive and a joy to use. Some personal tweaks here and there, adding Ghostty and it's a dream machine. Thank you @dhh 🙏DHH on X — "Mainstream Linux distros have been focused for too long on being as similar to Windows and Mac as possible to ease adoption. I've come to believe this isn't the way.
