Okhäyn is an experimental Arch Linux distribution, designed for creators and power users.
A minimal, aesthetic Hyprland environment, ready-to-modify without locking you into an ecosystem.
/\ OS: Okhäyn OS (beta v0.1) / \ Base: Arch Linux / /\ \ Kernel: 6.7.0-arch1-1 \ \/ / Shell: zsh + starship \ / WM: Hyprland (Wayland) \/ Terminal: kitty
Okhäyn doesn't try to do everything. It offers a clean, coherent and modest base that you adapt to your workflow.
Live environment with Hyprland out-of-the-box. Install via de>archinstall or manual terminal for total control.
Minimal dark theme, cyan/purple accent, readable typography and subtle animations powered by Hyprland. The desktop disappears to make room for what you create.
Stack adapted for video editing, development, music or creative coding: codecs, Flatpak support, drivers and tools already included.
pacman, AUR, systemd, hooks, journald... nothing is hidden. You keep full control, but without starting from scratch on every install.
Okhäyn v0.1 is a public experiment. Some choices may still evolve, break, or disappear in the next version.
Every decision is documented: why Hyprland, why this shell, these services. The goal is educational as much as practical.
Modern Wayland compositor, tiling, clear shortcuts and a soft visual hierarchy. The idea: never break your concentration.
Fluid animations, blur, rounded corners and top-tier Wayland performance.
Dwindle layout automatic tiling. Shortcuts remain readable in the docs.
Waybar configured for essentials: time, workspace, volume, network, battery.
A theme designed for tired eyes, especially when you work late or in projection.
The goal isn't to save 100ms on boot time, but to have a system that never slows you down in practice.
Everything is modifiable: de>hyprland.conf, themes, shortcuts, scripts. The OS is a suggestion, not an absolute truth.
A dark theme by default, but the palette and layouts are in readable and modifiable files.
Every key combination is documented. Up to you to keep, remove, or rewrite according to your workflow.
Minimalist main bar, but modular blocks: weather, CPU usage, audio players... enable or not.
A few simple scripts for the beta, designed to be read, forked and replaced with your own.
Essential apps preinstalled and full AUR access
