I have to ask: what were the deal-breaker bugs you ran into?
Omarchy 4 was apparently mostly coded by AI. 30k new lines of code written by GPT.

I had a similar experience to you but about a half year ago I started to be bombarded with Omarchy content on Twitter. I added it to my list of distros to check out, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
But then later, as I became aware of the age-verification at an OS level legislation that many nations are attempting to pass; Omarchy came up once again because their founder outright said they weren't going to comply, and that really made me like him.
But he's also a major proponent of AI coding, and I'm very skeptical about that.
Hearing lots of differing things about it.

Recently Lunduke did a video titled: Omarchy Foundation got $8 MILLION dollars in funding from Dell, Stripe, Cloudflare, and others.
I haven't watched it yet, but it's surprising to me that those companies are donating huge sums to a brand-new foundation created specifically to foster development of Omarchy.

I'm the opposite of a distro-hopper, but I run distros in VM's for recording/testing to make my videos.
