absolutely not.

every single arch user thought of making a distro with opinionated defaults, but then they realize the just have to edit the wiki to provide the community the same benefit.

some rich dude lack the self awareness for such.

he's both ignoring advanced users would rather have option open and defaults documented, and new users would just use manjaro.

I like Omarchy as an advanced user. I migrated off vanilla Arch + Hypr to Omarchy because it saves me a bunch of hassle setting all that up myself. I want the outcome, don't particularly enjoy the fiddling. I definitely could, I've even done LFS way back in the day, but I have other things I'd rather do with my time these days.

I think it's in many ways a project that caters to professional programmers. It's definitely not for beginners, neither for enthusiasts.

I respect there are people who would rather do all the fiddling themselves, but that's not what I'm looking for, and neither am I looking for a windows- or mac-a-like desktop environment like the ones you get with most distros. What I want in a desktop is exactly what Omarchy is offering.

comparing arch with LFS is wild, but thanks for sharing.

I personally just pacman install the kde metapackage, and I'm done.

I'm not saying arch is anything like LFS, I'm saying I've done LFS and this is not an "arch is too hard" thing.
