 In Arch-based distros, I would expect that they embrace the K.I.S.S. philosophy. That's not the case here. The size of the Omarchy ISO is over 6 GB. Even bigger than Ubuntu.

There are several closed-source applications (which, for me, is a red flag) and also some WebApps. After seeing that, I didn't have the motivation to test Omarchy in depth.

But at least I tried to remove (part of) the bloat, and the applications (WebApps also) that I removed were on the menu.

I installed Omarchy in a VM, and I couldn't test if dual booting was possible.

 OmarchyLinux by @dhh


Finally the distro on which i settled on.

It uses hyperland but most users won't need to rice it as it already comes pre configured, and the configs are really good. If you want to modify the configs that's so easy through the unified omarchy menu.

setup is so easy and quick, installing and updating packages are simple.

It comes with default omarchy configs for hyprland, but you can apply your configs on top of it through unified omarchy menu.
that menu is gold... literally you can modify most of the things through that menu.

tinkering with configs doesn't scare me... omarchy picked right pain point and shipped what was needed.

I don't think so that i will ever move to any other distro cause for me omarchy is all i needed!

 I've tried a lot of distros but Omarchy was what I have settled on. It's so easy to install and setup(7 minutes for me) and with the documentation and keybinds menu, it's also so easy to learn and getbin touch with. It being based on Arch is also awesome and the fact that they have installation menus for both pacman and yay makes it so easy to find packages and read their descriptions. Overally the experience has been awesome woth my only gripe being constant changes but I guess that's what you get when you install another person's opinionated setup. It's very nice for people who want to run arch or linux, have experience, but do not want or have the time to configure everything from the ground up.
