I tried Omarchy for a bit. It's a nice setup and DHH made some good choices, but I'm right there with you.

Most often, I use maximized windows for the things I'm actively working on and floating windows for something like popping over to a file manager for a quick operation. In Hyprland, this often meant using separate workspaces for the main apps I always have open and workspace switching is more effort than alt+tab. I'm also a heavy user of hotkeys for my most frequent apps. They are set up to focus or launch the app.

I ended up gaining little to nothing from the Hyprland setup that I didn't already have or could easily implement in Plasma so I went back after several days. I was also having weird problems launching some games in Steam. In particular, Balatro wouldn't launch under Hyprland even though it works fine under Plasma/Wayland. I spent some time troubleshooting to no avail before deciding it just wasn't worth it.

I did get some new ideas from Omarchy though. I never thought to set up xcompose before. I also like what DHH did with PWAs.

In any case, I like what DHH is doing because it's making people try Linux when they otherwise may not have. What's especially cool is he's proving that you don't need to dumb things down, which is exactly what everyone else has tried to do all these years. Omarchy is 100% a power user setup and does an awesome job of showing what Linux is capable of while still being very accessible to newcomers.

Using SUPER+F for toggling fullscreen and SUPER+TAB to switch workspaces is basically the same workflow - it's just so much easier to customize Hyprland to be the exact way you want and Omarchy is a wonderful foundation for it. I found it had much better defaults and more intuitive customization than the Hyprland Hyprperks setup https://account.hypr.land/pricing

Just tried it, worked without issue using Proton-GE https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom
