Omarchy, a new Linux distribution built around the Hyprland tiling window manager, reached 150,000 installs and delivered a petabyte of ISOs within months of launch. The distribution's rapid growth is attributed to timing—Microsoft ending Windows 10 support for older hardware and Apple discontinuing Intel Mac updates—combined with Linux's improved user experience, web apps reducing dependency on native software, and the customization freedom that Linux provides. Performance benchmarks show competitive results against high-end hardware at a fraction of the cost.

A petabyte worth of Omarchy in a month

Looking forward to finally giving Omarchy a try this week. I’ve mostly used Debian-based systems in the past.

I installed it on my main machine
It only took 2 minutes to go from bare metal to fully-functional OS. Talk about impressive.
It’s incredibly snappy and lightweight. Great for working and gaming. Hyprland can be a bit quirky with games that want to capture your mouse if they aren’t launched in exclusive fullscreen or with Gamescope using the <code>--force-grab-cursor</code> option.

I have using fedora from past few years waiting for second machine to try Omarchy, love the look and feel

Installed it on my old laptop last night.
