OMG Omarchy!

It is not something I would use. I use Debian BTW, nowadays, with my Arch installs being in maintenance mode.

As a low-power user, I can do everything I could do on Arch only without running the update command every 15 minutes or so :sweat_smile:

Just drop this here. Maybe interesting for some to watch.

Sounds like a self-inflicted problem.

Yeah, I am undergoing Debian-therapy for getting off of my pacman addiction :rofl:

We are going to welcome you back into the tend when these three year old x.y.456 to x.y.457 updates aren’t cutting it anymore. Until then: Have fun storming the castle. We will keep the pool warm. :smiley:

Sure seems like a well crafted distro/installer/hyprland config.

Thanks! Sure it feels comforting to know that I can always come back into the warmth of Arch/EOS family.

Yes. It looks like that the dev has put in a lot of work into it. And quite well-documented as well. https://learn.omacom.io/2/the-omarchy-manual

I dont understand what it is ? New Archcraft, new Hyprland configured.

Nowadays there are so many new distros with just configs or themes changed

I found it a bit too ā€˜opinionated’ for me :wink: With requirements like whole disk (due to encryption), it just wasn’t a direction I wanted to go (for long).

You can still run ā€œapt updateā€ every 15 minutes on Debian, you just won’t have any updates if you do it that often. :rofl: But what’s wrong with doing that on Arch?

I recently switched my vpses from CentOS to Debian since I wanted them running on a true community distribution and not have to worry about decisions that Redhat/IBM might make in the future that could effect CentOS/RHEL or RHEL clones.

Sure you can but soon you’ll stop doing it knowing you won’t be getting any updates for the next 2 weeks or so :rofl:

Good call!

updating every 5 minutes does not qualify as an addiction, surely

I knew it. EOS and Arch can be so addictive. Hope you enjoy your detox. And enjoy the staleness-cum-rock-solidity of Debian. It is a great Distro.

Wanna help me start a flame war between Debian and Arch? It ought to be fun.

Thanks! And yes, it is a great distro.

A bunch of years ago there was a book describing categories of technological adopters. It’s a decent way of thinking about almost anything in the tech space. Quick chart of core concepts:

I’m definitely an Early Adopter on the Early Majority side of the chasm. It’s why I’m content to keep running EndeavourOS; it’s got the tangy taste of Arch with comfort-food familiarity. It’s also why haven’t explored NixOS or Omarchy. One has too much fiddly stuff, the other is too new.

I don’t mind some futzing about with configs and it gives my brain a decent workout. Gotta do that as one ages, don’t you know. But doing it all day for everything on my system? Ain’t got no time for that. I want to play No Man’s Sky, dammit.

There’s Omakub, which is similar to Omarchy but uses Ubuntu (which uses Debian)…

Yesterday I wanted to try it. Installed, and after 3 minutes, I wiped my whole drive and switched back to Linux :slight_smile:
