it count's alright. so does steamdeck just cause you riced arch, doesn't make it "a new OS" imho.

the power of arch, one of the ONLY next generation linux (it and gentoo, came out in 2003ish.) This is why people confuse gentoo with arch, cause they're dumb but both were out at the same time, just gentoo likes to compile everything and I prefer binaries for those 1944 packages I install from the arch base distro with no compile time and ultra efficient binary co-existence.. But anyway, it's package management, build/release systems, and maintainers are top notch. That's how it's possible to have a real linux desktop that is maintainable forever by rolling forward everyday. Did you know, steamdeck, went with arch. Then tried to switch to ubuntu, gave up and released with arch? Yeah, cause it fucking works, and is the latest and greatest. The flagship of rolling releases. So it is no wonder, Omarchy is good, because it leverages all that and builds on top a few apps like an installer and some opinions. Pretty cool imho, but still "*you run arch btw" :) #yearoflinuxdesktop #linux

you may also have noticed, the first distros to release DGX spark = arch. and some proprietary nvidia distro (ain't nobody wants that).

Not exactly the same, but I'll just throw out that I'm running Manjaro, and while I won't get into speculation about why this is the case, if I tried to convince my wife that that's the same thing as running arch, I don't think she'd be impressed 🙂

Lol, im running hyprland on arch with omarchy configs

If you don't compile even the USB port driver into your custom 7.x.y kernel it doesn't even count as Linux. It's just windows with extra steps 🤣🤣

It's same.. "You run arch BTW", but, all good you don't have to call it that. 😎

"Ubuntu counts as Debian?"

is it good?

Liking it was better than popos so far but only been a few days

Omarchy is an opinionated layer of configs on top of a standard Arch install. Pacman, the reposlessness, the rolling updates, all still Arch underneath. You installed Arch, DHH just picked your dotfiles for you. That counts.

I spent time streamlining it and learning what was and wasn't in it. I think I can call it running arch now. But honestly, yes you are running arch... Imo the only difference between all distros is the package manager. That's it.

And setup/installation
