I Almost Switched to Omarchy. Instead, I Omarchified Linux Mint.

Description and use

The author adapted the Omarchy workflow on Linux Mint by reassigning keybindings, achieving a keyboard‑first tiling experience without changing the OS.

Problem

The author wanted a keyboard‑first, tiling workflow but was hesitant to replace Linux Mint due to marketing concerns.

Outcome

The author achieved a desired workflow without replacing the OS, preserving familiarity and reducing dependency on new ecosystems.

Workflow

• 1. Set Super+1…9 to switch workspaces
• 2. Set Super+Shift+1…9 to move current window to workspace
• 3. Set Super+F to fullscreen
• 4. Set Ctrl+Super+←/↑/↓ to tile window
• 5. Set Super+Enter to launch terminal
• 6. Use Brave browser keyboard shortcuts for tabs and address bar

Evidence

The workflow looked great. Keyboard-first, fast workspaces, tiling, minimal mouse usage — pretty much how I wanted to use my computer.

Source

The biggest change was workspaces.
