Omarchy Is Not A Distro | Hacker News

Hacker News users debated whether Omarchy is a real Linux distribution or just an opinionated Arch Linux setup.

Critics said it is mostly customizations and dotfiles, not a true distro in the traditional sense.

Supporters argued its defaults solve common Arch installation pain points and deliver a strong out-of-box experience.

The thread reflected a wider Linux culture split between deep customization and convenience for new users.
