Omarchy has been on an incredible growth spurt over the last few months. We've distributed over a petabyte worth of ISOs in the last thirty days alone, which is enough for 150,000+ new installs. In total, we're well into the hundreds of thousands of ISO downloads. But what I care more about than the numbers are the anecdotes. I'm constantly hearing from people who switched from Windows or Mac to Omarchy and love this beautiful, modern, and opinionated Linux way. This is something the Linux diehards tend to forget. What seems like old hat to them ("Hyprland?! Psh, I ran i3 in 2006!!!") is completely revolutionary to most people who've never used a tiling window manager. If you've only ever used Windows or Mac, Omarchy is like traveling to a different computer dimension — full of strange, wonderful new colors and designs. There's still work to do before Linux is likely to take over the desktop for "normies". But that was never the mission for Omarchy. We've been targeting people who genuinely love computers, don't mind learning how they work, and are willing to invest time in memorizing hotkeys to be able to become much more proficient and efficient machine operators. That's surely a subset of all computer users, but tons of such people exist! And it's not just developers, although they make up the lion's share. I've also seen Omarchy get embraced by designers and writers. Not just because this is such a fresh, new take on what a computer can look and feel like, but also because, as a community, we've dumped the silly gatekeeping that for so long has hampered the adoption of Linux. It was part of the reason I didn't think Linux on the desktop was something for me personally for so long. So happy to have been proven wrong! And now I'm excited to help others come to the same conclusion. Omarchy is for anyone who loves computers ✌️
