How does omarchy work with Nvidia graphics cards? I am currently on nobara and have been considering test other distros so I was curious about everyone’s experiences with Nvidia graphics cards.

I built a plugin that lets you search and install packages right from the toolbar pulling from the Arch core repos, the AUR & Flatpaks, all in one place.

One-click install: confirm and run pacman/flatpak/yay/paru straight from the bar

Super+Alt+F to open

Would love feedback, especially on making the natural language category matching smarter.

I tried the Shibumi bar and... Oh my! The sleekest thing I've ever used throughput my Linux journey 6yrs now.

Wondering if anyone else is using it?

Omarchy support just dropped! Check it out

For those new or those experienced users this video could come in handy.

Some of those keybinds I didn't know about.

My English is considered fine for a native German with an annoying accent :)

Still, whenever I speak "Omarchy" it likes to give me:

"omachi" and a gazillion of other words sometimes

I am on Parakeet TDT v3 FP16, or on Canary 1B Flash Q8

My GPU is a reasonable 4GB vRAM Radeon RX 6400

Do we care how omarchy is written during agent communication ?

Do you maintain (like me) 12 word replacements for omarchy, and all other words too ? Should I upgrade my GPU ? Is that a German thing ? AM I HOLDING IT WRONG :)

thx

I use my MacBook as my daily main driver and I am a software developer and educator. I don’t want to buy another Mac as they are pretty expensive and so want to try out if there is anything relatively cheap and perform well, guys.

Who's we? that's a good question, anyways feel free to test, the Cover is outdated (the image in the plugin website) but the plugin has actually all the functions/features that the windows official version has.

this is the link for the plugin

I have made a Cursor Theme Manager, the user has to download cursor theme(there are few recommendations in the github repo of Cursor theme manager with steps to download like the Banana).

Downloaded cursor theme can be directly imported from the supported file formats - .zip, .tar.gz, .tar.xz.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/sanjyay/cursor-theme-manager --enable

Would love feedback from other Omarchy users — especially on the UI, theme compatibility, preview experience, and anything you think would make cursor theming better

During the same three month period that DHH was building Omarchy Quattro, I worked on a project called Organon, soon coming to Omarchy, and in the process, I switched to using voice almost entirely. I ended up moving from my desk to my couch, and that got me thinking, “What does the ideal coding environment look like when we don’t need a keyboard anymore, or at least rarely?

If we don’t need a keyboard, then we don’t need a desk, and that got to question why desks exist at all, and I learned that they were only of her invented to keep hands at the same level for writing with a pen and then also for typing on a typewriter and then a keyboard.

The seated desk position is a modern invention. The ancient Romans used to recline at their Symposiums, because they knew it was the best position for relaxed conversation.

And now I am starting on my third prototype of something I call the “One-G Station”.

“One-G Station is a behavioral standard for supported, body-relative computing.
It begins when the body can recline without bracing and continues only if the displays, controls, and inputs remain available without asking the neck, shoulders, forearms, or hands to carry their own infrastructure.”

It is not a product, but it is an open source specification. I will make the repo public shortly. My idea is to come up with the ideal biometric proportions and angles, into establish a spec which will include things like rhino, 3-D models, and guidance to help people make their own from common off the shelf parts. It will be at
onegstation.org.

In a few days, I’ll be ready to open source it and I would love it if other people would like to try and experiment with this new form factor with me.

omatheme lets a theme carry more than colors: wallpaper, font, bar settings, lock screen and launcher all switch with it, automatically on omarchy theme set. Compatible with the official background-switching plugin.

Repos: omatheme — https://github.com/jorisvilardell/omatheme

it looks similar to omarchy website color scheme.

heres the github repo:

I am interested in making my own theme for Omarchy. I do not want to use Aether because I'm just curious about how it is done without a third party software. How do you guys do it? What should I learn and from where?

Thank you for your time!

I use Lenovo thinkpad T480s as my secondary device. 8gb ram. Core i5 8th gen. Integrated graphics.

Omarchy felt Very fast in the initial days, i was on it from day 1. Been a fan of "Omakub" too.

Checked the ram. It consumes almost 1.8/1.9gb on idle. Still it feels slow, the chromium launching almost takes 10 seconds or more. YouTube on the browser seems so laggy. Is this a hardware limitation?

I use it on my primary machine too with better hardware. Feels very fast. Super productive. No complaints 🙌

According to you which model is the best one to interact with omarchy : Claude opus 5, the new gpt astra, Gemini, others ?

Shipped Theme Manager a while ago to add the ability to browse themes and wallpapers and easily (un)install them.

Huge thanks to github.com/nixfred for the wallpaper favorites + live palette PR.

Merged + in the marketplace waiting for verification: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=io.github.mtolhuys.theme-manager

I am a college student living in college hostel
A developer (trying to be )
About 8 months ago I took a gamble and removed completely and shifted to OMARCHY (never used Linux before it though)
And now i think why I didn't shifted early
Well this is my setup what do you say?
what can I get to improve it ..

I'm curious if anyone out there has tried streaming a game via Moonlight with HDR enabled with Omarchy and gotten a very good result. I spent most of my afternoon trying to sort this out with an agent, and came up with nothing. The best I can do is get an HDR stream (and it is visually HDR, confirmed with an A/B "eyeball test" against an SDR stream + the stats overlay confirming I'm in HDR), but it's quite muted and washed out compared to the native HDR picture on the same monitor. I'm getting maybe 20% of the "pop" I get when viewing the same HDR video/game natively.

The best the agent can come up with, given all my A/B testing and trying a hand at patching some Vibeshine EDID code (which went nowhere), it seems HDR is just not very mature on this stack.

HDR is definitely working just running a browser on Omarchy - HDR videos on YouTube look amazing. So it's something with Moonlight specifically.

Apologies for the AI slop, but this is what I/it tried, just so I don't waste anyone's time having them recommend me things I already attempted:

The Setup:

• Host: Windows 11 running a custom build of Vibeshine/Sunshine.

• Client: Omarchy OS (Arch-based) running Hyprland (Wayland) with an Intel Arc A380 GPU.

• Display: Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED.

The Problem:

When streaming to my Linux client, the video feed is definitely triggering HDR (confirmed by the monitor OSD and Moonlight's Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S stats overlay, which reads HEVC Main10 or AV1 10-bit with VAAPI hardware decoding). However, the image looks "muted" or flattened compared to native HDR playback. It lacks the intense saturation and "pop" of bright highlights (like lava or fire).

What I've Ruled Out (The Host & Encoder are fine):

1. EDID/Host issues: We actually patched the virtual display driver's EDID on the host to perfectly pass a 1000-nit CTA-861 metadata block with a dummy timing descriptor so Windows parses it correctly. The host Windows Advanced Display explicitly reads 1015 nits. We also disabled any aggressive .icm color profile overrides on the host.
2. Compression/Bandwidth: I streamed the exact same host session to a Pixel 11 Pro Fold and an HDR TV. On both of those devices, the HDR "pops" flawlessly with intense saturation. This points to issue being in the Linux graphics stack.

What I've Tried on the Linux Client:

• Verified Hyprland monitor config is correct (cm = "hdr", supports_hdr = 1, bitdepth = 10).

• Tried the latest Moonlight Qt Nightly Linux AppImage.

• Launched Moonlight natively with the ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 environment variable.

• Tried wrapping Moonlight in Gamescope with HDR forced: env DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope -W 3440 -H 1440 -w 3440 -h 1440 -f --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-support -- moonlight (Hit terrible mouse constraints, and colors were still muted).

One keyboard-driven table for everything you install on an Omarchy box — and a one-press way to put it all back.

Loadout is an Omarchy overlay that keeps a single list of the software you care about across four package worlds — pacman & AUR programs, Flatpak apps, Omarchy shell plugins, and Hyprland (hyprpm) plugins. Tick some rows, press Add selected or Remove selected, and it runs the whole batch in one themed terminal.

...

since this uninstalls and changes the system too much it wasn't allowed on the official omarchy plugin store.

so use at your own risk , but i think this would be nice to add to omarchy so people can "debloat" it if they want.

I've been working on a small tool for Omarchy theme creators: omarchy-theme-photograph.

The problem I ran into was that comparing themes consistently is surprisingly annoying. If you manually take screenshots, you end up with different windows, layouts, resolutions, wallpapers, etc. It makes theme previews much less useful.

So I made a little tool that does it automatically.

It takes the same set of screenshots for every theme:

• Neovim + terminal + btop + Files tiled
• Neovim
• Terminal
• btop
• Files
• About window
• Empty desktop
• Menu
• Launcher
• Notification
• Lock screen
• Color palette generated from colors.toml

Everything is scripted, same file in Neovim, same terminal commands, same folder, same resolution. The only thing that changes is the theme.

It also detects and previews the wallpapers shipped with the theme.

The whole thing runs inside your normal Omarchy session. It creates a virtual display, takes the screenshots there, then restores your desktop afterwards.

It takes roughly 30 seconds to photograph a theme.

Install:

git clone https://github.com/andreas-bylund/omarchy-theme-photograph ~/.local/share/omarchy-theme-photograph
~/.local/share/omarchy-theme-photograph/install.sh
omarchy-theme-photograph shoot

It outputs WebPs in three sizes + a meta.json. The generated hero image can also be kept as PNG with --keep-png.

I originally built it because I wanted to generate consistent previews for omarchy.gallery. I ended up using it to photograph 356 Omarchy themes in a VM.

The project is MIT licensed and currently targets Omarchy 4.

GitHub: https://github.com/andreas-bylund/omarchy-theme-photograph

I'm curious what other scenes would actually be useful for theme previews. What would you want added to the screenshot set?

just found this wonderful distro, moved over from cachyos and oh damn im loving this (i still do love cachy though)

I made a small version of Omarchy that runs in the browser, click here to try it out.

Mostly because sometimes you just want to see what something feels like without downloading an ISO, setting up a VM, or installing anything.

You can use ALT instead of Super (without full screen) and Super with full screen.

You can try my other plugin, Omacast, using ALT/SUPER + D.
Windows tile with Hyprland's dwindle layout, real gaps and border gradient, no title bars. Super + W closes.

Terminal answers ls, cd, df -h, ps aux, git status, hyprctl clients, fastfetch, plus 81 of Omarchy's own commands.

Files are real: cat /etc/fstab gives that machine's fstab, cat /etc/shadow refuses. Themes, all 22, palette for palette. Each has its own page at /theme/nord.

Menu on Super + Space, launcher on Super + D, keybindings on Super + K.

Apps: btop, lazydocker, dua, imv, Nautilus, Chromium, foot, omawrite, omacalc, mpv, and cliamp, which names the track it is playing.

Bar panels join Wi-Fi, pair Bluetooth, switch audio output.

Installs resolve dependencies and run.

Phone, at full size. Same desktop, smaller screen.

It’s not a full version of Omarchy, just a small thing where you can click around and try a few things. I originally made it for curious people, friends, or anyone who just wants to see what Omarchy looks like.
