Omarchy, a preconfigured Arch Linux setup packaged as a distro that ships with a Hyprland tiling window manager and a curated set of defaults and developer tools, has announced the release of version 3.3.

One important note for existing users is that upgrading to 3.3 may temporarily surface Hyprland configuration errors during the update process. These are expected to disappear after the update completes and the system is restarted. However, users who maintain custom window rules or layer rules will need to migrate them to Hyprland’s new syntax, as older rule formats are no longer compatible

    What does ‘arch-based’ mean? Isn’t it just arch with some scripts with aliases and some tools preinstalled?

      Yes, “some” scripts. Omarchy goes from nothing to fully installed faster than you can read the install instructions for arch. It took me 20 minutes from visiting the website to having a completed install. It’s the easiest and fastest linux install I’ve seen.

      Give it a try. It doesn’t support dual boot, so have a free drive available.
