Why? Honestly, I don’t really know. I guess I just needed something fresh.
I’m used to Ubuntu, it’s been my daily driver for a long time. I’ve used Arch very briefly, and wasn’t too big of a fan. I’m also semi familiar with Hyprland (had it configured for Ubuntu at one point) but I never got used to it in any real sense of the word.
So that’s why I’m here now. I have nothing better to do over the course of the next two weeks other than prepping to leave for BCT at Fort Benning, so I might as well check out Omarchy for a little bit.
I wish I could say this was going to be a super detailed write-up going into all the nitty gritty information about my experience with it, but I’d rather keep this one short and sweet.
I wound up using the recommended tool Caligula to burn the Omarchy ISO because that seemed the best option at the time. Might as well go with what’s recommended instead of fucking about, yeah? Caligula itself is insanely straightforward to use and has a nice TUI to boot. Also it’s written in Rust, so there’s that.
The installation was actually extremely simple and went by quickly. The only hiccup was after the reboot, I got slapped with some “no bootloader” error.
So I reinstalled Ubuntu. I’m sticking with what works.
