An install script to create a strong and stable blend of Omarchy on top of CachyOS. You must install CachyOS first (please read the README file.)

Feedback and contributions welcome!

The main thing keeping me from trying out Omarchy is the pain of setting up multiple displays. I haven't tried Hyprland, but whenever I've tried a non-mainstream desktop/wm in Linux that was the worst, especially if your setup changes often (as in, you have a laptop and move around and plug it in different places).

May be that just means I'm not enough of a tinkerer for these setups.

Is it a hard problem to remember more than one configuration and link them to the displays connected to your computer? Or is it just that Omarchy users really don't mind editing monitor.conf[1] often?

Normally I'd say I would be exactly the type of person that would use such a thing. But what scares me away and makes me stay with vanilla KDE Plasma is that perceived upfront cost of having to relearn everything and having to customize for hours to then have something that feels 100% better in some and 100% worse in other situations.

Maybe that just means I am currently at a point in my life where I haven't got the time or energy to play around with these things. I'd rather have KDE Plasma with a hint of tiling window manager than a tiling window manager with a hint of Plasma, if you get what I mean.

So this is about setting up a UI.. with no screenshots of the UI. Nice

> Omarchy skips installation of a login display manager. Instead, Hyprland autostarts and password protection is provided upon boot by the LUKS full disk encryption service.

Pretty unconventional...Is this a bad idea?

Omarchy and CachyOS are very interesting but they do not look serious about security [0] [1].

I mean in this day and age we all agree you need disk encryption (for a least 20 years) but what about SELinux, application sandboxing for example?

Especially for a desktop OS like Omarchy shipped with a bunch of apps and "plugins".

This has been a Linux Desktop weakness for more than a decade (compared to macOS, Windows and Android). App sandboxing is a bit sketchy and hard to get right.

The fact they do not explicitly state their strategy regarding those things make me believe this is a bit amateurish.
