Omarchy is basically an opinionated set of libraries, largely centered around Hyprland tiling window manager, with minor celebrity marketing. I don't see why it's a distro, it may as well be a set of dotfiles.

Try out Hyprland yourself, it's fun and simpler to customize than its i3 ancestor.

CachyOS is also an Arch based distro with a GUI installer including multiple desktop options, such as Gnome, KDE Plasma, but also preconfigured Hyprland or Niri with a Waybar, Alacritty and a spotlight-esque application launcher.

I'm currently dual booting Windows & CachyOS with Niri and installation was incredibly smooth, including setting up secure boot or playing Windows games.

Omarchy is really just some packages and defaults, you can assemble yourself. (It was not a beginner friendly distro to begin with)

In what sense are other distros more than "some packages and defaults"?

They aren't really, just commenting on alternatives asked for, as Omarchy is just convenient repackaging.
