    Omarchy is a pre-configured installation of the Arch distribution that comes with a TUI installer on a 6.2GB ISO.

    According to https://archlinux.org/download/, the base arch iso is 1.4 GB. Why the heck does a wrapper for arch’s installer take literally 5 times the disk space?

    EDIT: ah, I see the article brings this up in the details, along with pointing out that the install process ends up needing to download an addition 1.8 gigs. 🤦
