Omarchy - Have you tried?

So as I sit here writing Anthology reports and installing Omarchy on an old OptiPlex 7070, and trying to work on my SC300 MSFT learning, I can hear Redmond crying now...

Okay, not really, but @jasoneckert should appreciate the joke. But I thought I'd share with all of you the next steps on the journey with my walk away from Microsoft and their incessant need to push Copilot into every corner of my life.

So, in my list of learn by doing stuff for Linux - here are my current personal research projects:

1. 1) AlienWare X17R1 running Commodore Vision OS 3.1 - still waiting for 4.0 to come out
2. 2) Surface 5 with Linux Mint - it's almost heresy, but these days, Microsoft and I are pretty much frenemies.
3. 3) Puppy, then Lubuntu on a Dell Chromebook 3400 - I may switch this one up with Omarchy - Wow, had to pull the battery so I could clear Google's stranglehold and load a proper UEFI BIOS so it would even take Linux. Say goodbye, ChromeOS - I never really loved you.
4. 4) AlienWare M18 running Ubuntu 26 - The divorce is still in place; I have not gone crawling back to Windows because I miss MS Office that much.
5. 5) Avalanche OS on my old LG G Watch. Finally breathed life back into my ailing timepiece.
6. 6) And of course, the aforementioned Omarchy which I gotta say, has got to be the cleanest desktop interface I've seen.

I thought about resurrecting my Harvester HCI environment - had a 16 node cluster set up - that I never really leveraged...sadly.

So, what are your side-table projects that you have rolling?

So, following up on my Omarchy experiments:

1) The Optiplex 7070 running Omarchy screams. It's pretty great. I had one guy ask me about running Plex on it. Seems that's a thing - running Plex servers with Arch, so they're not saddled with bloat.

2) I did manage to get Omarchy on the Chromebook 3400. It's not quite as peppy as I anticipated it would be. My guess is that the tiny Celeron processor has its limits balancing a full UEFI and a proper OS, rather than just Chrome.

Anyway, more geekery to follow as I explore.
