- Linux, particularly Hyprland, has improved significantly, offering superior performance, aesthetics, and efficiency.
- The dominance of web apps has reduced the importance of native GUI applications, making Linux more viable.
- Linux is a superior platform for developers, with most web servers running on Linux, optimizing performance.
- Omarchy offers users full control over their system, allowing deep customization and personalization.
