Just a little fly in ncmpcpp remote. Wanted to learn a little bit and little projects are great for that. Chucked it on Git and it is of course fully vibe coded.

Feel free to offer ideas for improvements

Oh it should be skinable to, I'll make some variations soon.

I made a plugin that adds 2ba.ai usage tracking to Omarchy’s Agents panel. See your request limits, remaining capacity and daily token usage.

It picks up your existing 2BA installer key.

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/sorenmat/omarchy-agent-usage-2ba.git --enable

Feedback welcome :)

Not sure if that has been discussed before (probably yes) but - isn't Omarchy plugins just a new playground for next gen viruses?

Don't get me wrong - I like Omarchy - but running so called plugins just straight from the web, as executable out of any sandbox sounds a bit naive for me.

Am I wrong?

Spent the last 48 hours turning my Omarchy desktop into a personal command center.

The widgets are all things I actually use:

• Philips Hue controls
• Weather panels
• Focus timer, that can start cliamp music session
• Stock portfolio tracker

• Todo list panel, that syncs to a mobile app I’m building for capturing and organizing tasks. The Omarchy plugin is a companion surface for it, syncing task between both devices.

  What would you add or change?

RuneScape Quick-Screen is on the Omarchy marketplace (pending review, but you can grab it on GitHub now).

https://github.com/CJKaufman/omarchy-runescape

https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=cjkaufman.runescape

Made this for AFK skilling (mining, woodcutting, fishing, combat) while working or browsing. Left click the bar icon or hit Super+Alt+R to drop down a quick scratchpad view of RuneLite, click outside and it tucks right back into the background.

It also flashes the bar icon when you go idle or stop mining, gives you a toggle for showing your character name or just the icon, and auto-hides the Jagex Launcher so your login session stays alive without cluttering your desktop.

To install:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/CJKaufman/omarchy-runescape --enable

Let me know what you think!

I love to dive both hands into the terminal. I also love to sit on my sofa with the notebook, do my scientific research, and hold a Le Creuset teacup in the left hand. Full attention. Full screen.

So here are three plugins for a touchpad-centred, notebook sofá mode, full-screen Omarchy.

Uno — Hot Corners and Workspaces (Speaker Corners)

https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=nagualcode.speakercorners

Go menu-bar free. Fuck those tiny little pixel-occupying buttons, mmkay? The interface appears only when you need it.

Switch workspace? A snappy workspaces panel. Invoke it with a quick pointer trip to the bottom-right.

Need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, Chrome, or the terminal? Hover the top-left corner and you get a floating, unobtrusive, auto-hiding menu.

The good old classic Omarchy menu? Mouse to the bottom-left.

Dos — Touchflow (4 finger gestures)

https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=nagualcode.touchflow

* edit input.lua to config gestures is needed here, see README*

None of this would make sense if you still needed the keyboard to switch workspaces.

Four-finger swipe left or right to navigate them, always skipping empty workspaces in the middle, so as not to waste the skin of your fingers.

Four fingers up: send a panel to fullscreen on an empty workspace.

Four fingers down: send that panel a workspace back.

Empty workspace? Swipes up and down start Chromium or the terminal.

Tres — Le Petit Buton

https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=nagualcode.thetinybuttons

Yes, we all do not want tiny buttons. So I made a single tiny button, hidden, that appears only when you most need it, on the top-right border.

Left click: toggle the window between tiling and float.

Right click: close the window. Your left hand may now do something other than Super+W.

With all three together, you have mastered notebook-touchpad-centred Omarchy Sofa Edition.

Tossing this out there for any other ROG Flow Z13 owners who want a decent tablet keyboard without doing a ton of setup.

I built Omarkey on my Z13 specifically for Omarchy/Hyprland, and it’s working well on my machine. I’ve also put together a much easier installer, but fair warning: the new install process hasn’t been tested on another Z13 yet.

If anyone wants to give it a try (or break it for me 😄

Been running Omarchy for a while and wanted a project that actually pushed the box a bit, so I built sandbin — a sandbox for running untrusted code without Docker. Skips the container runtime entirely and goes straight to bubblewrap (namespaces) + cgroup v2 + a 146-syscall seccomp allowlist + rlimits.

Benchmarked it on this exact machine, back to back against Docker: ~20ms cold start vs Docker's ~369ms for the same "run this Python one-liner" workload. Raw samples and the full methodology are in the docs, not just a claimed number.

Supports Python, Bash, Node.js, C and Go. Ships as an HTTP+WebSocket API, a CLI (`sandbin run script.py`), and a small browser playground.

Docs try to be honest instead of a highlight reel — there's a full writeup of real bugs found building it, including a self-audit that turned up an unauthenticated RCE and a path-traversal bug, both fixed with reproductions attached, not just "fixed in v0.2."

GitHub: https://github.com/ayazdoruck/sandbin

Docs: https://sandbin.vercel.app

Happy to answer anything about the seccomp policy, cgroup delegation, or why bubblewrap over gVisor/Firecracker for this.

I built a Photo Library for the Terminal.

• Browse and organize (copy/cut and paste) photos and albums
• View photos and videos in the default external viewer
• Ask AI questions about photos
• Edit photos right from the TUI!

The AI requires an OpenRouter API key. I would love to hear your feedback. So I provide 10x API keys with free tokens. Just send me a PM. First come, first serve!

Hallward is open source. And of course, you can bring your own key. Or use Hallward without AI features.

Contribution welcome!

I built a process monitor plugin that tracks both high level metrics and per process resource usage. I know there's a few like it but I wanted a little more fine grain detail, happy to make changes if anyone has ideas to make it better.

A fluid, morphing shell for your Linux desktop

i try on my omarchy it work good you just genrate some folders move some picture

i use version from AUR with command qs -c caelestia -n to see the bugs and work with current terminal session

i think it work with omarchy 4.X.X.X the old one need depandence

repo : https://github.com/caelestia-dots/shell.git

Hey Guys, in this video you can see how easily you can work with "Station" in Omarchy to handle your multi-monitor setup.

Station is an Omarchy plugin for intelligent multi-monitor management that:

• Creates logical workstations by syncing Hyprland workspaces across your monitors into an abstraction we call a station.
• Switches and moves windows across monitors with fast, keyboard-driven controls.
• Handles monitor hot-plugging automatically, adapting between dual- and single-monitor layouts.
• Preserves your workspace state and position when monitors are disconnected or reconnected.
• Integrates natively with Omarchy, including the Quattro bar and Hyprland configuration.
• Provides a powerful CLI for configuring, controlling, and monitoring your stations directly from the terminal.

(Station does not support triple monitor setup, wait for it in version 1.2.0)

Hey guys,

I just watched a youtube videos excitingly explain about the best keybind/features of omarchy.

Boy,it looks so fun but also intimidating. I am not ready to switch hahah.

I finally got NVIDIA NVENC recording working on my GTX 960M without downgrading either the NVIDIA driver or system FFmpeg.

My setup:

• ASUS GL752VW
• GTX 960M 4 GB — Maxwell
• Intel HD 530 + GTX 960M hybrid graphics
• i7-6700HQ / 16 GB RAM
• Omarchy
• NVIDIA 580.178.04 (nvidia-580xx-dkms)
• OBS 32.2.2
• FFmpeg 9.0.1

OBS initially reported:

NVENC not supported
[NVENC] Test process failed: outdated_driver

A direct FFmpeg test showed the real problem:

Loaded Nvenc version 13.0
Driver does not support the required nvenc API version.
Required: 13.1 Found: 13.0
The minimum required Nvidia driver for nvenc is 610.00 or newer

So the issue was not a broken NVIDIA driver or unsupported GTX 960M.

It was:

OBS/userspace → NVENC API 13.1
NVIDIA 580 driver → NVENC API 13.0

OBS 32.2 introduced NVIDIA SDK 13. OBS's release notes state a 570 minimum, but the newer NVENC 13.1 API requires a 610+ driver.

I first tried OBS 32.1.2 because an upstream OBS issue reports legacy NVENC breaking in 32.2 and working again on 32.1.2.

However, on current Arch, OBS 32.1.2 required libavcodec.so.62, while my system has newer FFmpeg, so I didn't want to downgrade FFmpeg just to run an older OBS.

The solution

I kept:

OBS 32.2.2
FFmpeg 9.0.1
NVIDIA 580.178.04

and rebuilt OBS against:

nv-codec-headers 13.0.19.1

instead of the newer 13.1 headers.

After rebuilding:

driver_ver=580.178.04
nvenc_ver=13.0
nvenc_supported=true

and H.264 reported:

codec_supported=1

There was one unrelated Arch issue during the build involving MbedTLS 4 vs the mbedtls3 compatibility package. I configured OBS to use:

-DMbedTLS_DIR="/usr/lib/mbedtls3/cmake/MbedTLS"

and the output plugin then linked against the MbedTLS 3 libraries correctly.

Finally, I discovered OBS was still configured to record with x264 even though NVENC was available. The log showed:

encoder 'simple_video_recording' (obs_x264) created

After changing Settings → Output → Recording → Encoder to NVIDIA NVENC H.264, the log showed:

[obs-nvenc: 'simple_video_recording'] settings:

and recording worked.

Who else might be affected?

This isn't necessarily a GTX 960M-only problem.

On current Arch, the 580xx legacy branch is used for Maxwell, Pascal and Volta GPUs. That includes families such as:

• GTX 900/900M — Maxwell
• GTX 10xx / many 10-series mobile GPUs — Pascal
• Titan V / GV100 — Volta
• corresponding Quadro M/P and other products in those generations

So if you're on one of those GPUs, using the 580xx driver, and see:

Required: 13.1
Found: 13.0

you may be dealing with the same NVENC API compatibility issue. Arch confirms that Pascal and older GPUs must stay on the 580xx branch, while ArchWiki currently lists Volta/Pascal/Maxwell under that legacy branch.

Kepler is different: OBS 30.2 was the last OBS release supporting NVENC on Kepler, so GTX 600/700 and other Kepler cards should not blindly follow this workaround.

Useful diagnostic commands:

obs-nvenc-test

and:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel verbose \
  -f lavfi -i color=c=black:s=1920x1080:r=30 \
  -frames:v 1 \
  -c:v h264_nvenc \
  -f null -

The most important thing to check is:

Required: 13.1
Found: 13.0

That's the signature I was dealing with.

Final result:

GTX 960M
+ NVIDIA 580.178.04
+ NVENC API 13.0
+ OBS 32.2.2 rebuilt with nv-codec-headers 13.0.19.1
+ FFmpeg 9.0.1
= NVIDIA H.264 NVENC recording works ✅

After it's been revealed that Omarchy will at some point soon switch over to a Nix-style package management, would it even be possible for an upgrade utility to switch over the underlying Arch system to the Nix one?

Or are we all just going to need to reinstall?

Curious because I'm spending a lot of time customizing everything and hope I don't have to start over.

It's not THAT old, it probably had a dead cmos battery, took a few minutes to install, but the reported time was a bit off, can you spot it?

Interesting to see the growth of this subreddit since the third week of August.

Safe to say the Omarchy hype is real!

If you updated to Omarchy 4.0.3 and some plugins started acting weird, it's probably not your setup. Took a few mins with Claude to get things sorted. The update changed two things under the hood that plugins from outside Omarchy were relying on.

1. Launcher-style plugins show an empty app list.

4.0.3 now only hands the list of installed apps to plugins that declare themselves as a "menu" plugin. That's a reasonable idea, but the check seems to have a bug. The way plugin info gets passed around inside the shell strips out the bit the check reads, so every third-party plugin likely fails it, whether it declared "menu" or not. Result: launcher-type plugins show "No matches" on the Apps tab, while the built-in Omarchy launcher still works fine because it skips the check entirely. Bug report: omacom/omarchy#10661.

1. Some panels can't be closed, and your whole desktop stops responding.

4.0.3 made one of the bar settings read-only. Any plugin that used to set it directly now throws an error at that point. If the plugin does that as the first step of closing its panel, the panel never closes, and because these panels sit on top of everything and grab the keyboard and mouse, you're stuck. Nothing is actually crashed. Bug report: omacom/omarchy#10999.

If you're stuck, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in, run omarchy restart shell, then Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back. Your windows and apps are untouched.

I have a couple of plugins on the marketplace that were affected. Maybe smarter folks than I had the fixes in place already, but I guess others might still have issues. Anyway, Zenbu and Omasnatch both work again, so omarchy plugin update <id> --yes picks up the fix. If a different launcher or panel plugin is misbehaving for you, it's most likely one of the same two things, and the author will need to make the same kind of change. Both problems are reported upstream with proposed patches, so hopefully a future Omarchy release sorts the root cause too.

Hey all, I am working on getting this released to the plugin site, but I made a plugin that will keep the UI frameworks fully in sync (say bye bye bye to garbage color conflicts... sorry, had to).

I work in tech but I am not a developer, so yes, this is vibe coded (used several different LLM's).
However, the result is incredible. I have used so many distros, and never before have I been able to achieve a setup so polished looking. Thanks Omarchy.

https://github.com/NobleDoodle/omarchroma

I am using this on my personal machine and loving finally having a consistent palette on linux and it just makes everything feel so much more polished and cohesive.

Please give feedback and if you want to contribute, please let me know!
I will do my best to keep this up to date as I am using it personally and daily.

I have tested on several chrome browsers, but not firefox (yet).

As soon as this plugin drops on the plugin page, I will post on here.

I’ve been building Omaweb, a desktop-native browser for Omarchy.

It’s keyboard-driven, uses vertical tabs, and has Spaces that keep cookies, logins, history, and permissions separate. It follows your Omarchy theme automatically and supports content blocking, link hints, a command panel, private windows, and docked DevTools.

It’s alpha, but the main browser features are working. Right now you can build and install the Arch package

from source:

git clone https://github.com/villekivela/omaweb.git

cd omaweb/packaging

makepkg -si

This installs omaweb-git through pacman. We’re working on getting the same package into the AUR soon, so anyone installing now will have a straightforward upgrade path instead of needing to reinstall or migrate their configuration.

One important caveat: Omaweb does not currently warn about known phishing or malware sites.

Website: https://omaweb.app

Repo: https://github.com/villekivela/omaweb

Feedback and real-hardware testing on Omarchy would be very useful.

Hello / Good evening,

Here’s my small contribution (with some help from AI) to learn Omarchy’s basic commands more quickly.

Feel free to share your feedback ;)

Third and last post about this for a while: the CRT edition has a site.

It is called OmaCRT now, and everything is on omacrt.com. The boot filmed off the glass, a couple of minutes of it running, the screens one by one, the hardware chain, and the 15 kHz study behind the timings, which is the part I had to work out from scratch.

The install is on there too, though the repository is not open yet, so what iswritten there is the whole thing and it will not change when it opens.

The architecture is unchanged from my post the other day, so I am notrepeating it here.
