The desktop
comes finished.

A fresh machine is the fun part for about an hour. Then it's a fortnight of small print: which terminal, which prompt, how the window manager splits, what Escape does in the editor, why the font has no ligatures, which nine packages the tenth one needed. None of it is hard. All of it is a decision, and you make every one alone — usually twice.

This is the tax people mean when they say the Linux desktop isn't ready. It's ready. It's just unassembled, and the instructions are thirty browser tabs deep.

Omarchy is one person's assembled answer, kept current so it doesn't rot. Not a theme pack, not a dotfiles repo you clone and pray over. A full install: compositor, bar, editor, terminal, fonts, keymap, lock screen — chosen to agree with each other.

The opinions are strong, and they are written down. Reskin the whole system — terminal, editor, bar, borders — with one command. Rebind a key by editing a Lua file that's three lines long. Nothing hides in a settings pane you have to go spelunking for, because there are no settings panes.

What arrives

• Tiling Hyprland, keyboard-first, with animation that stays out of the way
• A status bar, notifications, and on-screen display that already match
• Themes that recolor the terminal, editor, bar, and borders in one move
• Neovim as LazyVim, tmux, lazygit, Starship — configured, not merely installed
• One omarchy command for updates, themes, packages, and screen capture
• Every default sitting in ~/.config, in files meant to be edited
