Omarchy: An Opinionated Arch/Hyprland Setup

Omarchy turns a fresh Arch Linux installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system based on Hyprland by running a single command. Created by DHH and hosted on GitHub.

That’s the one-line pitch for Omarchy (like it was for Omakub). No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools.

Omarchy is now a distro, as DHH would say:

It’s a Linux distribution built on top of Arch Linux that uses Hyprland. Like Ubuntu is a Linux distribution built on top of Debian that uses Gnome.

Find more information on their Website and very well-written Omarchy Manual. Find the phylosophy Omakase behing Omakub, Omarchy at Omakase Computing, or DHH’s Linux Doctrine. Omakase is a mise en place style that chefs use to prepare their food, but for computer developers.

Find more of them on Omarchy Workstations (Official), or Omarchy Workstation Setups (Deepakness).

Omarchy comes with in-built Snapper backed in that handles system snapshots. It’s integrated into with the bootloader Limine:

cat /etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/hibernate.conf
[Sleep]
HibernateDelaySec=90min
HibernateOnACPower=no

It was set to 30 min, I changed it now to 90 min. this means if I suspend Arch, after 90 min, it will hibernate it (put the data into RAM and fully shut down (no battery used)).

Adding Printer on Linux

If you are curious, how I set it up, find my dotfiles online, and the Omarchy custom configs live mostly in hypr dots.
