I've tried to setup Arch with Hyprland like 3 times on my own and with the most popular dot files. It was terrible, frustrating and things broke all the time. Omarchy fixed that and I can't recommend it enough.

I’ve done both ultimately doing it raw helped me figure out why my setup and the omarchy attempt failed, (my cpu integrated graphics were rendering and passing the result to my 3090 not using the card at all) but I think anything that elevates Linux and solves the endless choices for people who don’t enjoy engaging with that is a good thing.

Did dhh provide a recipe to install hyprland properly without having to install a full "distribution"? (I don't know, it's a real question)

It feels very strange (and wrong) to me: if there is difficulties in installing something, try to help people instead of packaging the solution with other things that are not related. It feels a bit like if uv was mainly providing their "uvOS" to solve the difficulties of dealing with python packages.
