Omarchy is an opinionated, preconfigured Arch-based Linux desktop setup by DHH, built around Hyprland with curated themes, tools, and dotfiles. It ships as a shell-based installer and CLI that turns a fresh Arch install into a polished, modern desktop.

Use cases

  • set up a beautiful arch linux desktop quickly
  • switch from mac or windows to linux
  • get a preconfigured hyprland window manager setup
  • opinionated linux dotfiles and themes
  • install a complete developer workstation on linux
  • try a tiling window manager without manual config

When to choose

  • you want a ready-made, aesthetically polished Arch + Hyprland desktop
  • you like DHH's tooling choices (Neovim, terminal-centric workflow)
  • you're coming from macOS/Windows and want a guided Linux setup
  • you want curated defaults instead of hand-rolling dotfiles

When to avoid

  • you want a fully customizable, from-scratch Linux setup
  • you need a non-Arch distribution or enterprise support
  • you dislike opinionated defaults and want to pick every component yourself
  • you need a traditional desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
