Omarchy
A configured Arch and Hyprland developer desktop in a couple of minutes, with a coding agent built in to set up, tweak, and fix it for you.
About
Omarchy is an opinionated Linux distribution from DHH, built on Arch Linux with the Hyprland tiling window manager and a curated set of developer tools already configured. You write the ISO to a USB stick, answer five questions, and get a keyboard-driven desktop with Neovim, Docker, Lazygit, Mise, and matching themes across every app. On first boot you pick a default coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex, and the system leans on it for changing settings, building themes or plugins, and diagnosing crashes. It is free and MIT licensed, now run by the nonprofit Omacom Foundation, and it is the fastest way we know to get a polished Linux workstation without spending a weekend on dotfiles.
Highlights
- Installs from a USB stick in under two minutes on most machines after five setup questions
- Arch Linux base with Hyprland tiling, so the whole desktop is keyboard driven out of the box
- Pick a default coding agent on first boot, including Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot, and use it to change config, build themes, or debug crashes
- Developer tooling preconfigured: Neovim, Docker, Lazygit, Tmux, and Mise for Ruby, Node, and other language runtimes
- More than twenty bundled themes that restyle the desktop, terminal, and editor together, plus community themes and plugins
- Automatic snapshots before each update, so a bad upgrade can be rolled back
- Runs on modern laptops, Intel Macs, and older hardware, with separate builds for Apple Silicon and Snapdragon
- Free and MIT licensed, governed by the nonprofit Omacom Foundation with backing from several major tech companies
