It comes preloaded with friggen ZOOM. I don’t think Windows bloat is that bad.
If it makes people happy it makes people happy I guess. These guys trying it would be even more amazed at Fedora Workstation (“you can press windows and it shows all your open windows? That’s so much better”)
Isn't Rails highly opinionated with a focus on being batteries-included? I'm not defending the choice to include Zoom but a batteries-included (for better or for worse) distro is exactly what I would expect from the creator of Rails.
Easy to remove. Can even open your favourite AI assistant and ask it to remove it, since it comes with an Omarchy skill and knows how to change everything.
See this is where its going too far IMO.
When you setup rails, you get far fewer "batteries" by default.
Its batteries included, but opt-in to be included.
That is totally different from installing an OS and having bloatware already included.
It'll get there with enough community support hopefully, but the current state is very rough(much like early rails)
So far its the best Linux Desktop experience I've had, and I hardly have to configure anything out of the box, most of it just works.
Learning the hotkeys in Omarchy is a bit of a process, but there is a hotkey to show the hotkeys lol (super + K) - and once you get used to them, its super productive, at least to me.
It's that simple.
Plus, many pre-installs (like Zoom) are web-apps that take no space (30 lines of text) and are easy to remove if you don't want them in the menu.
And arch Linux specifically ships with nothing!
6GB is 3x larger than most other distros. It is kind of mental.
