    All blog posts on this website show a 404 for me, TFA included. Anyone else?

    I've been using Omarchy because it made Hyprland usable out of the box. By default you get sane hotkeys and neat config management. All the custom scripts are easily editable (since they're all bash scripts). So it's a very tweakable setup. In fact that's how I run it. I changed most of the defaults (Chrome->Firefox; Vim->Emacs; Walker->Vicinae; Alacritty->Wezterm) and removed all the app cruft and I'm loving it. Also, I enjoy the way themes are handled.

      I've shipped an Omarchy MCP Server that lets AI Assistants manage your Omarchy desktop themes - switch wallpapers, change color schemes, toggle dark mode and more, all from natural language:

        Omarchy didn't grab me. Maybe I didn't have time for a new learning curve on hyprland, maybe something in Arch, who knows... But that's not the point - I just learned about Localsend. So, thanks!

          One of my favorite YouTube creators (Josean Martinez) for finding super productive dev / terminal tools has just made the jump from macOS to Arch Linux / Hyprland (ala Omarchy). It's a great channel for finding out a Pro Hyprland setup tuned for terminal productivity.

            Are YouTube creators incentivized to often be switching and introducing new tools?

            The config file structure and hotkeys are the things people don't talk about with Omarchy, they're well designed and useful out of the box. The fact that the config files are super agent accessible is a nice cherry.
