If it's really just primarily dotfiles, those 'install scripts' are just going to be a few cp and maybe tar commands.

Not entirely though, because they defer so much control and judgement to the actual distro they are layering over.

I guess it's semantics. I guess if you consider Kubuntu a different distro from Ubuntu then so too would Omarchy be a distinct Distro.
