Omarchy is an opinionated, pre-configured setup built on top of Arch Linux and the Hyprland window manager, designed to provide a “just-works” developer environment right out of the box. The project targets users who want the power and flexibility of Arch Linux and Hyprland without spending hours assembling the pieces—everything from install scripts to theming and workspace behavior comes pre-wired. Because it is “opinionated,” the maintainers make strong choices about defaults (tooling, layout, theming) so you end up with a coherent system rather than 1000 little decisions. It’s particularly geared toward web developers and teams who want a consistent environment across machines. While the project simplifies many pain points of manual Arch/Hyprland setups, it still expects users to be comfortable with advanced tools and Linux workflows. It also emphasizes extendability: you can use the default build as your starting point and then customize further.
