what do you guys think about omarchy, i am thinking about switching my bro ( CS freshmen) from windows to omarchy instead of ubuntu, should i do it, or should i consider other distros too like this one?
Omarchy is a hyped up Arch Linux configuration tool with one specific kind of user in mind (namely its creator). It’s not beginner friendly if your brother hasn’t used Linux before. In fact Arch Linux itself is not beginner friendly. It’s better to stick with Ubuntu.
I personally wouldn't put anything but Ubuntu on a computer that someone else has to use and I have to support. No Arch, Fedora, Suse.
The main reason is that I know it, how to configure it, and when it tends to do silly things. Secondary reason is that Ubuntu is a beginner friendly distro.
Unless you are familiar with Arch/Omarchy and/or have ideological reasons, I don't see the point of putting it on someone else's computer. If articles and videos are hyping it, they are probably wrong or don't apply to your case.
Imo omarchy is only the right choice for a person engaging in it's "hype", so I wouldn't give it to somebody else. They either want it themselves or it's not a good fit.
9.0 was unfortunately incompatible with a lot of software. Certainly in Fedora we did the work (about a year ago) and have been shipping it for a long time.
