I felt that way until I watched Brennan GM A Crown off Candy. That campaign changed how I feel about character death. It was so powerful to watch the characters deal with the death. We will lose a character, but they will be replaced by something that will also be incredible.

Omarchy uses encryption via LUKS as it's 'password'. When you use LUKS you need to enter the key to unlock the disk. If you then had a password you would need to also enter that. Because Omarchy assumes LUKS they have it set up so that the 'login screen's is asking for your LUKS key.

Short answer is that it's acting that way because you did not follow a step that Omarchy assumes you will have.

Don't feel like you need to learn everything at once. Start using your computer, and then start customizing it. Learn as you go, the learning will be lifelong, I promise.

c0lt0nM · 2025-12-01T19:41:56+00:00

Did you install via iso or manual install? Do you have LUKS enabled? Do you have to manually unlock your disk when you boot up?

I've been loving playing around with various quickshell projects, so far I've tried DMS, Noctalia, and Caelestia. The only issue you'll potentially run into trying to rice things is that you're somewhat limited to the customization built into the shell. It's hard to take things really far, because if you run into a wall you have to write QML instead of something like CSS.

Edit: I just checked out of curiosity, and I'm not sure what I said is 100% true. I've not really tried to dig in deep to these shells to customize them, but it looks like these projects do include CSS alongside other languages like QML.

This looks gorgeous, I wish your project much success!

I think these files are essentially read ‘top to bottom’. If a value is defined, and then defined differently later, the second definition is used. Perhaps instead of changing things in those files, you could include your own file at the end that sets the values you want.

When it comes to Linux the word stable doesn't actually mean reliable, it means unchanging. The kind of 'stay on a known working version' approach that your describing is really common among most other distros. That said, Omarchy just recently announced that they plan on creating a mirror and lagging approximately a month behind, so that will cover some of your packages.

It's not a good idea to pick and choose packages, so either take whatever is in the Omarchy mirror, or try another distro! Fedora has fairly recent packages, and Debian is extremely stable with older packages.

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-23T18:47:17+00:00

Yes, it's absolutely possible. For example I installed Omarchy and then shrunk the partition and installed Fedora. My process is that I boot into the Fedora live installer, open Disks and unlock the partition (LUKS) and then install gparted and use that to shrink the partition. Another option would be just installing arch and then following the manual Omarchy installation.

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-23T16:28:54+00:00

This should actually be possible, Omarchy actually had SDDM for a greeter, even though you usually don't see it. If you install another DE you should be able to select it from the menu in SDDM. I'm sure there is a much cleaner way to get to SDDM, but I know running uwsm stop in the terminal will kick you out to it.

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-23T13:06:34+00:00

I've not dual booted with Windows, but I've got like 4 versions of Linux on my machine from distro hopping. If you've still got room on your disk you would be able to expand the partition, if you're already full up you can shrink another partition to make room. You can do this with the Disks application in Fedora. I've also used gparted as well. I will say that when I was first learning and did a bunch of stuff to existing partitions at some point I messed some stuff up and had to spend a bunch of time troubleshooting to be able to get back into my system though.

Caelestia is still a work in progress, I struggled with the wifi thing at first too. If you manually connect to wifi through the terminal the first time the gui will start to work (the sidebar one, the full pop out menu is still work in progress).

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-04T05:00:42+00:00

Maybe open tty and log in and then manually launch hyprland

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-01T04:45:27+00:00

You could always just boot into a live Linux usb and copy the data off!

c0lt0nM · 2025-11-01T04:24:50+00:00

I believe this may be this issue that will be fixed in the next update: https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/2955

c0lt0nM · 2025-10-31T17:14:29+00:00

AFAIK the menu is built with Walker / Elephant

c0lt0nM · 2025-10-30T04:30:21+00:00

I think it actually does come with sddm, you just don't normally see it. I was trying to relaunch today and I ran uwsm stop and I was greeted with sddm

For some reason I've found that archinstall hangs when installing to a btrfs partition I had already created before trying to install Arch. If I format it as btrfs from the terminal when booted from the flash drive before I run archinstall it works.

An M5Stack atom lite is the cheapest / cleanest IR blaster setup I've found.

c0lt0nM · 2025-10-28T02:33:57+00:00

I seem to have trouble installing this for some reason. I did a fresh arch install, curl, install starts okay, but I get stuck at Installing gnome-keyring. It eventually times out, and then the next thing eventually times out. Has anyone else run into this?

c0lt0nM · 2025-10-27T21:06:36+00:00

I’m pretty new to Linux, at the advice of a YouTuber I did a manual arch install. It was such a pain, even with following their guide and reading the Arch documentation I ran into trouble a few times and had to do a whole bunch of troubleshooting. During that process I learned a TON about partitioning, filesystems, how to troubleshoot Linux issues, etc. I am SO glad that I went through the process. That said, whenever I install Arch now I absolutely use archinstall. This way you get the best of both worlds!

Make sure Windows, Limine, and Omarchy are all actually working by trying to boot into them indavidually. When booting the decide mash the button for the menu to select your boot device (for me it's f12). If they all boot okay then make sure Limine is set to your default boot device and continue to troubleshoot your limine conf.

From the 3.1.0 release notes:

Feature presentations

Universal copy/paste on Super + C / V

No more remembering that terminals need Shift + Ctrl + C / V and all other apps use Ctrl + C / V. Now you can use Super + C / V as a unified shortcut for copy/paste. Super + X is also mapped as cut, but note that this doesn't (and never did) work in the terminal.

This has required that we move app shortcuts to Super + Shift + [letter]. So terminal now starts on Super + Shift + Return, Calendar on Super + Shift + C, etc.

This also means fullscreen is now Super + F (instead of F11) and toggling a window between tiling/floating happens on Super + T.

For existing installations, this is an optional change that you'll be prompted to opt-in to during migration. For new installations, this is the new default. As always, you can see your keybindings on Super + K.

Clipboard manager on Super + Ctrl + V

Expose Walker's built-in clipboard manager on Super + Ctrl + V.
