The main thing keeping me from trying out Omarchy is the pain of setting up multiple displays. I haven't tried Hyprland, but whenever I've tried a non-mainstream desktop/wm in Linux that was the worst, especially if your setup changes often (as in, you have a laptop and move around and plug it in different places).

May be that just means I'm not enough of a tinkerer for these setups.

Is it a hard problem to remember more than one configuration and link them to the displays connected to your computer? Or is it just that Omarchy users really don't mind editing monitor.conf[1] often?

The community has written a TUI for this: https://github.com/erans/hyprmon

I don't really need it, but maybe my setup is too simple. I set my laptop monitor to auto-right, external display to auto-left and that's it. Set it and forget it for me.

If your external display isn't connected, what happens? Does Hyprland ignore that line from the config without an error and everything works normally?

It's ignored. This setup wouldn't suffice if my external displays used different scaling though, currently they all work fine at scale 1 for me.

  # external display
  monitor = DP-3, preferred, auto-left, 1
  # internal display
  monitor = eDP-1, preferred, auto-right, 1.333333
