Omarchy, a preconfigured Arch Linux setup packaged as a distro that ships with a Hyprland tiling window manager and a curated set of defaults and developer tools, has announced the release of version 3.3.
One important note for existing users is that upgrading to 3.3 may temporarily surface Hyprland configuration errors during the update process. These are expected to disappear after the update completes and the system is restarted. However, users who maintain custom window rules or layer rules will need to migrate them to Hyprland’s new syntax, as older rule formats are no longer compatible
Why is this thing so popular? Do people just love faschtech?
Good marketing or influencers perhaps? I’m not sure but I’ve been wondering myself.
Plus it comes with software with steep learning curve (Neovim, Hyprland, etc.), that is also popular among the “gatekeeper” types.
