  • Well if that was your original intent then you must have known that only native speakers would have understood the * Lyricism*, which is a weird thing to do since this is an international and English speaking community. So I guess you deserve the benefit of the doubt.

    By the way the link fails to mention music, which is disappointing since its common that our mothers sing about the sea when we were children.






  • Omarchy is just an opinion, this opinion are the configuration files and the packages installed by default. You can get a better setup for yourself by using plain Arch, installing Hyprland and configuring dotfiles on your own. I suggest using the archinstall script if you do not want to do the manual Arch install. In that installation you can just select the Hyprland desktop option and it will do everything for you. Then you can transfer the needed configuration files from your Omarchy setup. There will not be any more need for configurations if you do not want it.

    There are loads of people who share their dotfiles tips and tricks online, I share my dotfiles in Codeberg, have a window managers community, and a work in progress website with window manager tips.


  • I read that article and agreed with everything, when Omarchy started getting popular I read what packages had installed by default and could not believe that has so many packages installed through bash scripts or that mise thing. Not to mention that it had so many configurations just as they come from their original program, no git prompt no fzf integrations, etc. I think they did not even set up apparmor nor ufw, so the only thing of value I could see were the cool themes.

    Also they had some pretty bad keybinds for navigating, like F11 for fullscreen, and some for quickly accessing twitter and chatbots on the browser.





  • Hyprland has several practical features that Sway does not have. I have used both extensively and I stayed at Hyprland because of the following:

    • DynamicBSP layout
    • Moving windows without changing layout structure is easy
    • Special workspaces(scratch pads)
      • They can be toggled
      • One can launch apps when opened empty
      • They can automatically close when the last window closes.

    Things Sway has that Hyprland does not:

    • Closing all windows contained in workspace
    • Moving all windows from one workspace to another

    I have thought coming back to Sway because of the performance and because of Hyprland’s the silly default wallpapers and splash screens, but those features hold me back.
