What Hacker News says
3 sourcesIt's basically Arch and a fully customized ready to go Hyprland setup (which is a fully customizable/programmable DE running on top of Wayland).
I would recommend just installing Arch, Hyprland and customize what you need yourselves so you aren't stuck using DHHs preferences.
Bonus: Along the way you will also figure out how he did it, like creating your very own application launcher with some scripting and https://github.com/abenz1267/walker
(I am in the process of exactly doing that)
In 400M PCs cannot upgrade to Windows 11There are a lot of them yeah.
In this case, Walker is the launcher being used in Omarchy, https://github.com/abenz1267/walker. It's not specific to Omarchy.
One of Walker's features is being able to create your own custom menus quite easily with shell scripts.
