New comment by zoidb in "Omarchy Is Not A Distro"

For those here that are old enough to remember Knoppix I think there are some similar things happening here. There were similar theads about Knoppix not being a distro for those who installed to their hdd using the live cd. But there was also clear demand for what it offered.

I for one really liked the out-of-box Omarchy experience and wouldn't know the first thing right now about how to customize arch so that it feels the same as Omarchy. Maybe it's trivial? But honestly I don't care I just like Omarchy's default opinion design way better than any other distro I've tried so far.

I created https://github.com/jarv/newsgoat which is very similar to newsboat

It's more typical of that country and especially the balkans.

The bloat of the neovim distributions are real and what I would suggest for anyone who is a long time vim user is to check out kickstart. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim , specifically the modular fork https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim which will give you a great (minimal) starting point

Here is a terminal based reader that I recently created as an alternative to newsboat https://github.com/jarv/newsgoat

It has some features that I felt was missing from the terminal based readers out there already.
