Hi friend,

Thanks for signing up for Omarchy FTROU: Omarchy For The Rest Of Us!

A quick introduction: I'm Katherine. I'm not a real developer, but I'm not new to this either. I've used Windows, macOS, and a handful of Linux distros over the years, most recently Manjaro, which is where my Arch background comes from. Omarchy caught my attention because it's beautiful, fast, and opinionated, and lots of people on X have been talking about it. It also assumes you already know a lot. This newsletter is here to close that gap.

Here's what you can expect:

• Plain-language explanations of what's happening in Omarchy and why it matters to you, even if you don't write code.
• Practical tips for getting comfortable, especially if you're coming from Windows or a Mac.
• Information about applications.Changing platforms can be scary if you don't know if the tools you use all the time are available in the new place.
• The AI side, made understandable. Omarchy leans heavily on AI agents, and I'll explain what that means for how you use your computer every day.

New issues arrive every Tuesday.

One favor to ask: hit reply and tell me where you are, either physically or in terms of understanding Linux or Omarchy. Are you curious about Omarchy, trying it out, or already running it? And what's the one thing that confuses or frustrates you most? I read every reply, and your answers will shape what I write about.

Glad you're here,
Katherine

P.S. If a friend has been eyeing Omarchy but feels intimidated, forward this to them. That's exactly who this is for.
