dayvsterdev: Their Problem With Omarchy Is What They Like About Arch

@dayvsterdev

dayvsterdev says "I really didn't want to write this post." and "The Linux community already has enough people telling newcomers they're doing it wrong. I didn't want to be another one of them." They add "But my problem with Omarchy is exactly what made me fall in love with Arch in the first place." They link their blog post "My Problem With Omarchy Is What I Like About Arch", which says Omarchy "looks good" but adds "I think its pitch puts too much value on what I can avoid learning and too little on what I could learn to control.", welcomes people for whom Omarchy is how they got to Linux, and makes a case for "taking the next step, getting curious about the system you’ve installed and finding out how much of it you can make your own."

_hhnj: Two Pitfalls With the Typeless Linux Version on Omarchy, Fixed With Two Hyprland Settings

_hhnj says, in Chinese, that after switching their main development environment to Omarchy they installed the Linux version of Typeless and hit two pitfalls on the first day: voice input worked in Chrome but could not paste a single character in kitty, and the small floating dictation window disappeared when switching workspaces. The root cause is that the Fcitx5 engine was not packaged into the installer at all, and every time it fell back to clipboard + Ctrl+V, which of course the terminal does not accept. Two Hyprland settings fixed it, and they link their write-up, which they say can be handed straight to an AI.
