TurboMyPC: Omarchy Installed in 2 Minutes and 7 Seconds on an Old Laptop. Anyone Else Reviving a Win11 Reject With This?
TurboMyPC found an old laptop, at least 10 years old and Windows 11 incompatible, wanted a sandboxed OS with agents built in, had always wanted to try Hyprland without spending a weekend on the config, and says Omarchy installed in 2 minutes and 7 seconds and desktop and boot are fast, "Arch, but not the SteamOS kind of Arch", thanking dhh for the positive outlook on AI and asking "Anyone else reviving a Win11 reject with this?"; the still is an angled view of a screen with a lime-green pixel "OMARCHY" wordmark above "Installed Omarchy in 2m 7s" and a "Reboot Now" button.
Lokeshd0tz has been playing with Omarchy for a while and says "honestly, it just works." They say people hate on it "'cause it’s easier than a traditional Arch install", where everything is configured by hand and sanity is lost over Wi-Fi, and they are using it as their primary dev machine and loving it; the still is a desktop wallpaper of a girl in a dark hoodie leaning on a white-and-black hatchback with "藤原とうふ店" on the door under a pink-and-blue sky, with a traffic cone at left, below a top bar.
petrzela123 says part of their Omarchy setup is that they stopped closing apps: Super + W hides a window, and the app keeps running and comes back instantly, same spot, same draft; opening their terminal apps used to take ~0.6 s, "Now: 0." In a follow-up reply they list Super + Z for the last hidden window back, Super + Alt + W to pick any hidden one, the app's own key to bring it back in place, and Super + Q to really quit, linking petrzpav/omarchy-setup; the still shows a mail inbox pane with tabs such as "Inbox 5" and "Clients", a "#general" chat pane, and a pane reading "this app has been running for" above a large green pixel counter.
theodorvaryag is testing the PRIME fix and Tatami (Omarchy-inspired Hyprland setup) respin on "the nvidia laptop" in between Slack messages; the still shows a "Choose Your Desktops" installer screen at "Step 3 of 7" with cards for KDE Plasma, GNOME, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, Hyprland, and Tatami, the Tatami card reading "Keyboard-driven Hyprland inspired by Omarchy: a Tokyo Night look, menus for everything and Omarchy's key bindings.", and "Caching selected software in memory · 5.3 GiB of 13.4 GiB" above a "Next" button.
