Welcome to OmarOS!

OmarOS is an omakase Linux distribution based on Arch, the tiling window manager Hyprland, and the desktop construction-kit Quickshell. It ships with everything a modern, savvy computer user needs to be productive immediately. From Neovim (btw) to the OmarWeb browser and LibreOffice, and Hype to Monologue. Hell, even a retro Winamp-style music player is there!

This isn't just a grab bag of preinstalled packages, though. It's a complete system designed with both aesthetics and productivity in mind. Because a beautiful system is a motivating system, and productivity has always been downstream from motivation. There's zero bloat here: Just everything I use.

It's true that developing an eye for the beauty of a TUI-heavy, theme-delighted, tiling-window-managed system like OmarOS can be an acquired taste. But that's why you're here, isn't it? To experience something a little outside of your comfort zone? To embark on a little bit of an adventure into a new way of working with computers? I hope so.

OmarOS isn't like Windows and it's not like macOS either. It's not trying to be as familiar as possible. It's trying to be beautiful and better. Embrace the Linux-ness of it all. Manually editing some config files, sure. Heavy on the terminal, definitely.

Let's get started with the basics.

OmarOS is based on Omarchy by DHH.
