Omarchy - The First Actually Good Linux Distro

These are some QOL improvements for Omarchy that might aid you in your quest to switch to Omarchy.

Essential

Fix Sleep/Lock:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/dsnsgithub/omarchy-lock-fix
omarchy restart shell

Worth It

Remove Chrome Managed Policies

Install Google Chrome (Omarchy Menu, Install > Browser), delete Chromium (Omarchy Menu, Remove > Browser). Then clean out any managed policies (creates weird Chrome themes, locks secure DNS for some reason)

sudo rm -rf /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed
sudo rm -rf /etc/opt/chrome/policies/recommended

Change Chrome Font (to make it look good on Linux)

Add inter-font (Omarchy menu, Install > Package)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Inter 10"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font 11"
pkill -f chrome

Optional

Disable Mouse Acceleration

nvim ~/.config/hypr/input.lua

Uncomment Line 26.

Kirby Theme
