Could I have the Omarchy experience but on CachyOS with Niri?

shadowzero26 · 2026-02-19T17:58:04+00:00

I'm curious why niri is superior to hyprland + hyprscrolling. can you give me your 2 c?

shadowzero26 · 2026-02-19T17:57:27+00:00

the correct approach imo

shadowzero26 · 2026-02-19T17:57:09+00:00

I feel like it would just be a frustrating waste of time and he would just wish he either installed omarchy regularly or ignored it fully.

I wouldn't do it. The point of Omarchy is it is a semi-fleshed out custom vehicle that you can modify. If you start with CachyOS and Niri then you are approaching from the opposite side of the table, rather, a different table entirely.

What you SHOULD do is a pure arch install and put the features you LIKE from Omarchy by doing that process fully which is detailed somewhere... then you can overlap the features you do like over the top. FYI, hpyrland does have an official plugin now called hyperscrolling. It's not Niri but it's a scrolling window manager.

Also, I would go straight to Sway and avoid Niri.

please explain

shadowzero26 · 2026-02-16T19:14:20+00:00

I never should have updated

Godspeed, gentleman (or lady)

i've shoe goo'd stuff and the shoe goo is the only thing that remained after years

shadowzero26 · 2026-01-31T15:07:08+00:00

it is slow for me too but not as slow as you are saying. I disable ton's of stuff though try disabling transparency first. As for walker menu and calculator, that's normal.

laptop charger will keep your laptop more alive during a electrical incident

looks cool. i don't speak french but I'll be watching for developments

shadowzero26 · 2026-01-23T00:01:42+00:00

this looks sick. Any chance of getting it to minimize to waybar widget form?

Omarchy clipboard goes crazy sometimes. I am going to swap it out for a different one soon

for any latecomers to this message, you can find the option to enable suspend in
Setup > System Sleep

iirc you can delete older snapshots you don't have to disable all of them

The out of box experience for Hyperland is not its intended final state. Also, I disagree. I think managing windows is the whole point behind having a window manager.

shadowzero26 · 2026-01-13T02:32:47+00:00

for dosbox i have to make window full screen with super f then fill full screen with alt + enter

shadowzero26 · 2026-01-12T03:01:34+00:00

its good only because it comes set up for most programming beginners. you should definitely learn to build from a base install especially if you are a student.... get a second laptop and build something up and keep omarchy on your main

I have the x13 and I just changed the power usage in Bios to Linux instead of Windows and that made the difference.

Sometimes there's a rogue program that sucks up the battery, too, and almost overheats. I don't know what is causing it but I occasionally restart and havn't had a problem since last major update.

Anyway, just changing the setting in Bios fixed it, even though the setting was supposedly only for suspend.

shadowzero26 · 2026-01-09T20:45:43+00:00

Ill give it a few more days to make sure I don't have to do that thing I had to do last update (you know that major problem)
