If you want to try this but not really spend time configuring it, there's a cool OS distro called Omarchy. https://omarchy.org/


Its also very easy on nixos. I could switch from xmonad/xorg to hyprland in a minute (and back).


Do you still prefer XMonad?


I use it over 10 years now. Its perfect except of the haskell/ghc payload that made it complicated on older machines. To compile GHC on my 2019 dell xps notebook took like 8 hours.

But its not a problem anymore, since I switched to nixos. But xorg will be eventually obsolete and there seems no actual replacement yet.


> xorg will be eventually obsolete and there seems no actual replacement yet.

That's also my worry. Plus, Waymonad never took off.


Seconding Omarchy.

Not only I'm progressively migrating from my Mac onto an Omarchy linux setup... but I've even gone and beaten my Mac into behaving more like Omarchy (with Aerospace as the tiling wm) in the meantime...


I recently finished setting up arch + Hyprland manually last weekend, and then saw Omarchy for the first time yesterday and it basically does everything I wanted + more QOL features. Hit me just slightly too late. But great work from DHH.


TIL 37signals officially (?) develops a distro


Two distros, actually: https://omakub.org/


Omakub was an experiment and is essentially finished.
