How does it compare to DHH’s Omarchy?
Looking for opinions from those who tried both.
- PreHistoricPunk 10mo agoOmarchy is not a distribution; just a customized Arch setup.
- monooso 10mo agoThis may be my ignorance, but aren't most distributions [1] just an Arch / Fedora / Debian / whatever base with a desktop environment and a few opinionated choices (UI tweaks, installed applications, etc.)? [1] I realise CachyOS makes some kernel modifications, but is that typical?
- tmtvl 10mo agoI believe the difference is between Omarchy simply having some default configuration for certain applications compared to CachyOS having a repository with a larger amount of packages which are being maintained by the CachyOS devs.
- embedding-shape 10mo ago> [1] I realise CachyOS makes some kernel modifications, but is that typical? Yes, very common. I think not making modifications (like Arch) is the atypical case, as "unmodified from upstream" is one of the core value propositions for Arch and why we chose it in the first place. Still, CachyOS is probably an outlier in the amount of tweaks it does, and the amount of choices it surfaces to users about those tweaks.
- LargoLasskhyfv 10mo agoThere is https://github.com/mroboff/omarchy-on-cachyos https://github.com/mroboff/omarchy-on-cachyos if one wanted it. I didn't, because I'm considering that a fad.
