    I Can't Believe How Good Linux Is Now.. (Omarchy Linux)

    A hands-on review of Omarchy Linux, a preconfigured Arch Linux distribution with Hyperland window manager. The author explores the out-of-the-box experience, customization options, and daily driver potential. While praising the smooth performance, polished UI, and extensive preconfiguration (screen recording, theming, key bindings), they encounter dealbreaker issues with DaVinci Resolve's drag-and-drop functionality due to Wayland limitations. Gaming works well, but video editing workflow remains problematic. The distribution excels at providing a ready-to-use tiling window manager setup without extensive manual configuration.
