I used to run Linux on my home computer between 1998-2007 (Slackware, Gentoo, Arch Linux) but it often felt like there was a lot of extra work with configuring and fixing drivers and so on. After that I switched to MacOS and never looked back until now.

The appeal of Omakub & Omarchy to me is that it minimizes the amount of time wasted on getting everything setup.

I setup Omakub on a 2015 MBP at the beginning of this year. I'll definitely be switching to Omarchy soon.

My only thought is that it would be nice if Omarchy/Omakub used something more declarative than a bunch of bash scripts, like nix or something else.



Out of the box Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora Gnome or KDE is similarly "just works". A lot has changed since 2007 Linux.


Dunno, in 2007 Ubuntu and Suse "just worked". Others were more flaky but there were solid distros even back then...

Why? And... why? If you like omakub than why switch? What does omarchy do better?

Wrt the bash scripts, parts look extremely brittle: this stuff is sure to stop setting up new machines in the future...


mostly because I like Arch Linux better than Ubuntu. I like pacman so much better than apt-get.

Also Omarchy has the hyperland setup, I don't think he's bringing that to Omakub?


A lot of people post their dot files. It’s an interesting idea but I would not run Omarchy as my main dev machine.
