What is it?

Omarchy is a Linux distribution by DHH that aims to be both beautiful and opinionated. It ships a fully configured desktop environment out of the box, so users get a working setup with theming, keybindings and developer tools already in place rather than assembling them by hand.

The project comes with a manual covering the day-to-day experience: a top bar, a unified clipboard with history, screenshot and recording tools, and an omarchy command-line interface for managing the system. Terminal, Neovim, shell tools and themes are configured as part of the default install, and the manual also covers networking, monitors, fonts, dual-boot installs and system snapshots.

Omarchy is released under the MIT License and is intended for users who want a ready-made Linux workstation and are comfortable with an opinionated set of defaults.
