@RustyCrab @neatnik just look at how it actually works and you can see how stupid this is. People only defend because they are a brand new to Linux Redditor who wowed by fancy ricing.

Omarchy is doing nothing special. Its auto arch install is just like existing ones. You can configure hpyrland yourself. DHH has just automated all of this with fragile shell scripts. There is no special sauce here it’s just simplifying the easy stuff at the cost of having a very opinionated default which is hard to customize. I just personally avoid these one man custom rice distros. Same reason I tell people not to use nobara, you are begging to get screwed when they start making their own opinionated changes.

I think finding a guys shells scripts over the actual packages he’s taking from is retarded and reveals this all as a dumb vanity project.

You know I thought omorachy was just an arch installer with some dot files that was being boosted for political reasons but it’s even worse.

DHH decided that rather then using Pacman instead updates and software install is done via system d controlled bash scripts. Like random programs are installed with different package mangers and some are called via shell scripts pulling binaries.

How can anyone recommend this to beginners?

It’s the peak meme of saving you 10 minutes installing libreoffice and chromium so you can spend hours when the arbitrary ai slop bash scripts fuck up. I’ve never been a fan of these “Linux for noobs” distros like Ubuntu, bazzite, nobara, cachyos etc since they tend to just simplify the easy stuff and then you run into more difficult problems like the team being too small to regularly provide updates from upstream or being so opinionated that attempts at customization break, but this is like next level bad.
