Omarchy is a new (very opinionated) arch-based Linux distro.
The goal of DHH (who created Omarchy) is to build a distro, that is very fast to install, offers all the tools DHH uses and looks nice.
It is explicitly not the goal to make it similar to Windows or Mac. The goal is not an easy opt in for new users. The goal is to offer a new way of computing to those who are willing to learn it.
Networkchuck has a good conversation with DHH, where he explains the intentions:
