# The Omarchy Manual

## Takeaways
- **Omarchy** is DHH's omakase Arch + Hyprland Linux distro—curated dev stack (Neovim, Alacritty, Chromium, Typora, etc.) with zero bloat and strong aesthetics-as-motivation framing.
- Designed as a complete productivity system, not a package dump: tiling WM hotkeys, unified theming (`colors.toml` drives terminal, Hyprland, Waybar, Chromium, and more), and opinionated defaults.
- Installation via ISO on a dedicated drive with full-disk encryption; dual-boot needs two disks unless manual workaround.
- Hyprland-centric workflow: Super+Return for terminal, direct app hotkeys over launcher-first navigation; extensive config under `~/.config/hypr/`.
- Manual covers basics, getting started, input/keybindings, and deep customization—reference for Omarchy/Omarchy-adjacent vault `system` lane.

## Notes
Long-form hosted manual at learn.omacom.io; clipping body is full book content (some HTML nav noise from extraction). Useful alongside vault Omarchy notes for Hyprland theming and daily-driver Linux ops.

## Open questions
- Which Omarchy defaults (keybinds, theme pipeline) are worth mirroring in vault `system/` docs vs. treating as personal preference only?
