Install omarchy on Omarchy
Omarchy is a complete, ready-to-install Linux distribution built by DHH on top of Arch Linux and the Hyprland tiling window manager. Rather than making you assemble a desktop piece by piece, it ships with a curated terminal, Neovim setup, themes, hotkeys, and AI/agent tooling already configured and working together out of the box. It targets developers who want a fast, keyboard-centric, visually polished setup without doing the usual weeks of Arch ricing themselves.
