Trying Out Omarchy

I’ve always enjoyed hopping between Linux distros. My journey started with Linux Mint, which was a great way to ease into the ecosystem. From there, I moved on to Ubuntu, then Fedora, and eventually ArchLinux. Lately, I’ve been running ArchLinux with hYde, a setup I’ve spent way too much time tweaking to perfection.

Now, I’m giving Omarchy a spin. What caught my attention is how opinionated it is while still leaving room for customization. It’s like having a strong foundation to build on without feeling boxed in. That balance is something I really appreciate.

One thing I really like is how easy it is to switch themes. They give you a lot of nice themes out of the box and allow you to even define your own theme. That said, I can already tell I’ll spend more time customizing than actually doing any real work.

I’m driving Omarchy daily for the next month or so just to see how much I like it. I currently have it installed on a 2016 Dell XPS 13 model and I’m surprised by how well it’s running!
