I don't really understand what Omarchy even is, other than a front for corporations to donate money to fascism.
It sounds like it's not even a full distro really, just Arch with a bunch of config files?
I mean: If you can get millions of pounds for your config these days, my config is:
Three-key keyboard shortcuts for:
They are all ctrl-alt and keys around J on the keyboard. I move my windows around like a wizard.
5x2 virtual desktops. Move between them with ctrl-alt left/right/up/down. Shift to carry the current window as you move.
The desktop configuration is:
Main:
One-Desktop-left, messenger screen:
Telegram will be phased out. Nearly done.
One desktop right, lights.
One desktop down: Godot-coding.
Diagonal right-down: Steam.
Diagonal left-down, spreadsheets.
Rarely active really.
The other desktops are for sundry tasks as and when they might arise.
The OS is on the root of the hard-drive and /home/pre is mounted from a set of zfs drives that frankly need rethinking and reorganizing.
Directories in there:
In /pub we have basically the Jelly-fin formats with side-directories.
In /doc we have
Vimwiki is my opinionated choice for personal journal and reference notes. It is amazing and I should have gone with markdown from the start but it's still all in vimwiki syntax.
I will post the basic structure of the vimwiki only if this post gets 50 boosts or thousands of dollars in donations.
It is several levels deep with symlinks into the project directories.
Then of course there's the server-config which there's flavours of, and the way those servers are backed up, and the themes for the things.
Nextcloud, ttrss, goto-social, mastodon, peertube. I got servers running 'em all.
Can I get me some of those fascist dollars if I publish my config for mixing gotosocial with a static website to combine a social and web identity into one?
It's basically just an nginx config and a hugo run and some scripts.
If I install all that and snapshot it can I have the millions of fascists money please?

Saw a Gentoo install vid, it really made me enthousiastic for another install. Yeah, KDE, musl, openRC, zfs, some flatpak and distrobox, noice!
Then I realized Chimera Linux does all that ootb 🤣 Shelved 🤓

Usually you grab an LTS kernel for ZFS support. Chimera Linux has zfs support for the stable (atm 7.2.2) kernel. And LibreOffice 26.08 right now. And KDE 6.7.4 servicepack 2 as well. I'll be heading back soon, a gem!

No, having a good backup was NOT the right solution.
It wasn’t ZFS auto-snapshots that saved me.
It wasn’t VMWare auto-snapshots
It wasn’t daily backup of critical config & data to another machine
It was using VMWare Fusion’s ‘sparse' disk format and their recovery tool. On each one of the ‘base' disk segments.
To each OOPS its own recovery tool…

Highlight from @… :
Ori presented on GEFS, a modern file system with some ideas that couldn't have made it into ZFS et al.
