I was very big on the Omarchy Hype train pretty early, and ended up using it for awhile on basically every computer I have. But I've switched from Omarchy to Cosmic/Pop OS 24 a few weeks ago and I actually think it is superior.
I love DHH. I credit reading Getting Real and ReWork with sparking my coding career. I love 37 Signals. I've read their blog, listened to their podcast, and used their software for ages. So when they announced Omarchy, I was all in.
And I LOVED it. The tiling window manager setup was a revelation. The theming was perfect. The way the OS handled web apps was brilliant.
But it wasn't perfect. There were just enough headaches to remind me that I was using something new: - I could never get printers to work. - Switching between wireless networks was not intuitive. - Plugging my laptop into various external monitor setups (presenting, clamshell mode, regular use) required editing a text file. - Battery life wasn't great, and suspend never worked well on my computer.
What really got to me was when, during a team meeting, Hyperland crashed and my screen was permanently taken over with some anime girl - even after reboot.
My boss and coworkers had decided they wanted to push our junior developers onto Cosmic when the beta released, and so I took that as the time to commit and switch.
It turns out, cosmic has most of the stuff I loved about Omarchy, but with the stability of a long established Ubuntu distro and the hardware compatibility you'd expect from System76 (I use a system76 laptop at work).
In a few minutes, I was able to setup almost the same workspace setup (with the same keybindings) as Omarchy. With the Cosmic Tweaks app, I am able to theme everything with lots of built in themes like Omarchy. So right out of the gate, you get the two best features of Omarchy.
But then you get actual GUIs for network and settings. Much better battery life and (for me at least) much more stability.
So if you tried Omarchy and liked it, but it felt a little bit too cutting edge for you - I think you'll be really pleased with Cosmic and Pop OS 24.04.
I'm running it on my personal laptop, my personal desktop and my work laptop, and I am totally satisfied.
